Dealing with Advocacy - A Practical Guide

The Information and Communication Network (ComNet) has just published the third publication of its capacity building guide series, Dealing with Advocacy - A Practical Guide, written by Ms. Joke van Kampen. It contains detailed chapters on the necessity of NGOs to deal with advocacy, how to develop an advocacy strategy, the advantages of forming coalitions and how to incorporate advocacy into your everyday work.

Capacity Building Series

All three guides - Dealing with Media, Advanced Dealing with Media and
Dealing with Advocacy - are an integral component of the ComNet's
strategy to strengthen the capacity of especially organisations in the
South to carry out awareness creation at a local level. All three guides
are available at http://www.asia-initiative.org/news_comnet_guides.html

EC/UNFPA Initiative for Reproductive Health in Asia

The European Commission- and UNFPA-funded Initiative works together with
19 European NGOs and over 60 local partners towards improving the
overall reproductive health status in seven South-South East Asian
countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and
Viet Nam). An emphasis is put upon providing especially young people
with quality sexual and reproductive health services and information.

The Information and Communication Network (ComNet) is a project run by
the German Foundation for World Population (DSW) in the frame of the
EC/UNFPA Initiative for Reproductive Health in Asia (RHI).
