Advocacy strategy – training for the IDP women

Advocacy for community problems, advocacy strategy and drawing up an action plan - training on these issues for women leaders from different IDP communities was held at the office of the Women Fund “Sukhumi”.

The participants identified the factors that determine the relevance of the problem and the path of the problem from identification to solution, which ensures the success of advocacy.

After defining the essence of advocacy, the participants discussed the results and reasons of the problem using the “tree method”. And with the help of the SWOT form, they were able to analyze strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and resources, and identify expected risks.

In the second part of the training, participants were divided into three groups and worked in groups on an action plan for advocacy on a specific issue.

The feedback shows that they are ready to use the acquired knowledge into practice:

“We learned about the advocacy process. All the information is necessary for us".

“We worked on drawing up an advocacy plan, prescribed all the activities, envisaged the risks. We will use all the materials in practice”.

The project is implemented with the support of  USAID local governance program
