The Capacity Building Division provides leadership and direction in the areas of training, technical assistance, evidence building and information dissemination. Child welfare agencies and organizations often need support as they seek to enhance, expand, and develop services, practices, and policies. The Children's Bureau has established National Capacity Building Centers, Quality Improvement Centers, and National Training Initiatives that can assist these agencies and organizations as they work to improve outcomes for children and families and measure their results. Capacity building services are offered through universal resources, targeted services, tailored services, and training.
