Session Description:

Go, listen, build: that is how successful advocacy campaigns are built. This lunch and learn workshop is for anyone interested in doing more advocacy and will look at the basics of advocacy through a three-pronged approach for influencing governments. We will discuss how in order to make change our advocacy needs to be based on solid research, direct lobbying and grassroots mobilization.
