Advocacy Toolkit
This toolkit aims to help NGOs/CBOs to have a clear understanding
of what advocacy is and how it might support the work of NGOs
and CBOs, and to provide practical assistance in how to actually
undertake advocacy work.
The toolkit is about advocacy and HIV/AIDS - influencing
people and organisations in power to create an environment
which protects the rights, health and welfare of everyone,
both HIV positive and negative.
For NGOs/CBOs involved in HIV/AIDS, this means understanding
the role of advocacy in relation to other responses to HIV/AIDS,
such as information, education and communication (IEC), community
mobilisation and service provision.
It addresses the advantages of planning advocacy work systematically
and how this can be achieved. It also helps organisations
consider how advocacy could help them to achieve their mission,
and to recognise the potential impact of advocacy work on
their organisation.
The toolkit also aims to introduce NGOs/CBOs to advocacy
methods that have worked in the past to address HIV/AIDS,
and to understand when their use is appropriate.
