Grants and Projects

Community Networking 1

The AACIS work plan, developed during a six-week strategic planning session in the summer of 1998, identified five key components that AACIS should possess: 1) a decentralized information system, 2) data/clearing house consortium, 3) information and referral, 4) community building, and 5) community indicators. A three-phase plan was devised:


  • Phase I
    Phase I of the development of the AACIS focuses on the planning and implementation of the first two components, believing that some basic infrastructure of AACIS needs to exist before bringing the product to the community.
  • Phase II
    Phase II of the development of the AACIS deals with the strategies to develop the information and referral component which integrate and coordinate the existing efforts to collect, maintain and provide information about social services in the community. Phase II also develops the community building component which identifies the training strategies needed to make AACIS accessible to the broader community.
  • Phase III
    Phase III will be initiated once a solid foundation of information about the community is in place and a communication vehicle to be used by the community is fully operationalized. Phase III will create a community scorecard, a means by which the community can track its progress on a range of indicators.
