The Coaching Approach
Building Capacity for Sustainable Systems Change
These modules are for experts interested in serving as coaches and mentors. The modules share principles, approaches and tips for playing the role of a coach or mentor effectively and exchanging lessons learned from real-life experiences.
A movement to improve technical support to country change processes.
To respond to the call to reimagine traditional technical assistance models and find better ways to support country-led change, a global community of stakeholders committed to improving technical assistance and learning from one another are building and sharing the Coaching Approach.
The Coaching Approach draws mainly on country and regional experts to support country change processes, supported by global coaches and mentors as needed. Working through existing infrastructure and processes, coaches bring technical expertise and evidence adapted to suit the country context, and they help facilitate more robust, country-led processes through learning-by-doing.

Coaching "soft skills"
Serving as a coach or mentor goes beyond being a consultant or a technical assistance provider. In addition to technical expertise, coaching requires strong skills in:
- stakeholder engagement,
- process facilitation,
- knowledge translation and communication.
