ACT2015! advocacy strategy toolkit launched

ACT2015! advocacy strategy toolkit, a practical workbook for young people who are passionate about advancing HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) through national advocacy in the post-2015 agenda, has been launched.

Developed in partnership with Restless Development, the toolkit supports youth organizations to build national alliances and develop a national advocacy roadmap to engage with key decision makers influential in post-2015 negotiations.

 

 The toolkit also provides background information about the Millennium Development Goals and the post-2015 development agenda, as well as a timeline of critical events within the process of developing the new framework. 

"With step-by-step information on how young people can develop their own advocacy strategy, including setting up advocacy priorities, selecting targets, making an effective advocacy case, developing activities and designing a road map, it shows how to conduct effective advocacy in the national context," CrowdOutAIDS posted on its official website.

In the first phase of ACT! 2015, a youth-led initiative based on new forms of organizing using social media and online technology, young people around the world organized community dialogued to set advocacy priorities.
