This report from the ComActivate project is a valuable resource for anyone aiming to support municipalities and homeowner associations in their efforts to alleviate energy poverty in multi-family apartment buildings. Designed for use in Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Hungary—where many such buildings are managed by homeowner associations—this capacity-building program offers a roadmap to create a targeted, effective training curriculum.

Inside, you’ll find practical steps for developing a comprehensive capacity-building program, from identifying training needs to designing custom curricula and methodologies and planning annual activities across four demonstration sites.

 Highlights of the report include:

• Assessing Training Needs: How do we determine what skills and knowledge are most needed?
• Identifying the Right Audience: Who should be involved in building capacity for lasting impact?
• Defining Learning Objectives: What key outcomes should guide the training?
• Crafting the Curriculum: What should the training program cover?
• Planning for Delivery and Logistics: How can we best structure, deliver, and manage the training?

Finally, we discuss feedback mechanisms and evaluation tools to ensure continuous improvement—so that we can refine our approach and incorporate the experiences of participants on the ground.
