Abstract: The semi-annual progress report will be completed by all technical assistance providers receiving funds under the Office on Violence Against Women's (OVW)Technical Assistance Program. The primary purpose of the OVW Technical Assistance Program is to provide direct assistance to grantees and their subgrantees to enhance the success of local projects they are implementing with Violence Against Women Act grant funds. In addition, OVW is focused on building the capacity of criminal justice and victim services organizations to respond effectively to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and to foster partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally worked together to address violence against women, such as faith- and community- based organizations.
