Description

For organisations committed to social change, as NGO, communication and advocacy often figure as strategic elements. Over the past few years, however, many NGO have experienced challenges due to the shrinking of civic space, increasingly witnessed in EU (including decrease in funding and restrictions to advocacy). NGO need to adapt to play their advocacy role and participate fully and proactively in the decision-making process. The project CALL (Communication and Advocacy for Social Change) aims to
enhance the capacities of NGO in communication, advocacy and monitoring of public policies, fostering the potential as agents of inclusion and active citizen engagement. It encompasses key activities as: development of organisational assessments and strategic action plans; capacity building in communication and advocacy; implementation of joint-advocacy initiatives; launch of initiatives to celebrate and learn about outstanding advocacy campaigns; develop toolkits and an online repository.
