What is TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE?
Technical Assistance is the process of providing targeted support to an organization
with a development need or problem.
An external specialist (consultant) may deliver TA in a variety of different ways, such as one-on-one consultation, small group facilitation, or through a web-based clearinghouse.
The consultant will address the unique need of the organization using the most appropriate process to achieve the desired results. |
