In this approach, the University of Utah is working as the catalyst with the local “catalyst‐in‐training”, MUET, which more generally could be a University, an NGO, a government agency, local Service Providers (SP), or other key stakeholders in the identified Community of Practice. The catalyst seeks to (a) build capacity of the actors, (b) facilitate data management and ongoing dialogue among the actors in the community, and (c) build capacity of the local University, or other identified entity, to serve as the next catalyst in a new district. In the next step, the ‘local catalyst’ organization is then poised to take on the catalytic role with
