Coalition Readiness and Effectiveness Assessment for Coalition Leaders

The Coalition Readiness and Effectiveness Assessment is a comprehensive survey tool developed by Omni to help coalitions measure how well they work together and how effectively they address community issues. With 42 scaled questions across eight key dimensions—including leadership, membership engagement, process, and institutionalization—plus four open-ended prompts, the tool provides rich data that can inform decision-making and strategy. Coalition leaders can use the results to generate summary reports that highlight both areas of success and opportunities for growth, facilitating informed discussions among members and with the broader community.

Beyond internal use, this assessment also serves as a powerful resource for engaging external stakeholders, such as potential funders or new members. It supports recruitment, builds transparency, and helps demonstrate accountability and effectiveness. The accompanying toolkit offers implementation guidance, a scoring framework, and templates for sharing findings—ensuring that coalitions have the support needed to act on the insights gathered. Ultimately, this tool empowers coalitions to align their efforts, sustain momentum, and elevate their impact through evidence-based reflection and planning.
