INTRODUCTION
Communicating for advocacy is an important aspect of an organization’s
work. Unfortunately, the concept has remained ‘abstract and complicated’ in the
minds of many people working within the development sector. Many have expressed
the need to have a clearer understanding of what advocacy is and how it might
support the work of NGOs and CBOs. This training is delivered to support
participants’ understanding of advocacy, with a focus on the importance of
communication, as well as providing practical assistance on how to actually
undertake advocacy work. The training is about communicating for advocacy.
Participants receive skills to influence people and institutions in power to
create an environment which protects the rights, health and welfare of
everyone, particularly the poor and most vulnerable.

larger charities, NGOs, and faith based organizations.
