The training and technical assistance will focus on programmatic and administrative functions to build the capacity of FVPSA formula recipients, such as dissemination of FVPSA regulations and guidance, understanding roles and responsibilities of programmatic monitoring of local programs, incorporation of best practices, building the management capacity of organizations, and building partnerships within the state or territory which includes culturally-specific organizations and tribes. The recipients will also actively work to connect FVPSA formula recipients with appropriate technical assistance and resources of best practices from FVPSA-funded resource and capacity building centers.
