Practical Action in Advocacy Part C

Part C of Understanding Advocacy.

Part C of Understanding Advocacy.  The advocacy cycle is suitable for all types of advocacy work and following it will improve your chances of success. The five sections in Part C explain the five steps in the advocacy cycle, from identifying the issue at the start, to evaluation at the end. These five stages lead into one another, but you may need to keep going back to previous stages if you want to gather more information or change your methods.

The actual time for planning and doing advocacy work will vary, depending on the urgency and complexity of a particular issue, the amount of information needed and the advocacy methods chosen. The basic process outlined in the introduction provides a framework and the main questions to address for an immediate response to an issue. You will need to work through each section in more detail for issues requiring a more longterm response.
