TA SUMMARIES

The types of technical assistance (TA) offered by the Welfare Peer TA Network include peer-to-peer site visits, workshops and moderated teleconferences. After TA interventions occur, a descriptive report is written and posted on the TA Summaries pages. Reports are organized into the welfare policy topics shown below, and, if relevant, may be listed under more than one topic.

If you would like to request technical assistance, please go to the TA Request Form Page.
