Building Blocks of Advocacy (National level advocacy)
This module is an introduction to three important fields of advocacy: Public Relations, Coalitions and Lobbying. It serves to expand the knowledge about advocacy for organizations in the sector of agroecology and short food supply chains. The module will help organizations reflect on their own capacities and possibilities with regard to advocacy. This module explores the basics of advocating at the national level using three thematic topics: Public Relations, Alliance Building, and Lobbying.
