Advocacy Sourcebook

This manual is intended for organisations interested in developing and strengthening advocacy strategies and capacities. It provides advocates with frameworks to analyse past and plan future advocacy efforts, and trainers with materials for adaptation and use in capacity building workshops. It offers concepts, planning frameworks, analytic tools for assessing public policy systems, tools for strategy development, frameworks for understanding and planning organisational capacity-building for advocacy campaigns, suggestions for assessing the impact of advocacy campaigns, case studies of successful advocacy in many regions, and a variety of readings and references. It draws on lessons gathered through joint research and projects with colleagues in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States.
