We are passionate about public health and can apply our proven advocacy approach to a range of political contexts and policies. While every campaign plan is unique and customized for local context, we offer a range of core services that support the creativity and commitment of locally led movements ready to affect policy change.

We integrate capacity strengthening into everything we do because we know effective advocacy requires effective advocates. Our process starts by analyzing the landscape to identify potential partners in-country. Using data gleaned from systematic organizational capacity assessments, we develop tailored trainings and capacity building strategies to hone advocacy skills, promote promising practices from around the globe, and foster strong partnerships. From building effective coalitions to persuading policy makers, our individualized approach helps organizations reach their full advocacy potential and win campaigns.
