In the area of organizational capacity building, Curva and Associates assist in developing plans of action to develop coalitions and community organizations, developing assessment tools, and providing a report of the process and implementation of the plan for use in ongoing program improvements.

Curva and Associates has provided several staff development and training in the areas of evaluation and advocacy.

We also conducted a training workshop on the research and evaluation designs to recipients of the American Heart Association Youth Fitness and Tobacco Education Prevention and Education Programs and the Artful Truth, Healthy Propaganda Arts Project. We have also presented results of these and other projects at conferences throughout Florida. In advocacy, Curva and Associates conducted intensive workshops at the Florida Council on Aging Conference and to pharmaceutical representatives for Creative Political Foundations.
