Participants of the workshop will explore the development of advocacy strategies, taking into account key aspects of advocacy carried out with partners in the global South and ways to support national advocacy processes.

The workshop will also explore how to combine communications strategies to strengthen the impact of advocacy work. The workshop will be based on the practical application of the concepts learned, through working groups, with an aim to ensure participants apply the concepts learned to their daily work/organization’s ambitions.

Materials will be distributed prior to the workshop and participants are encouraged to fill in an expectations form that will be circulated weeks prior to the workshop.
