Description and Purpose:
This tool is an example of an advocacy evaluation case study.
Method:
Analyze and write up an advocacy case study, using the following questions as a guide to structure.
The case study should take three to five minutes to explain.
- What was the problem?
- Who decided to advocate on the problem (i.e. brief details of the NGOs/AW organizations involved)?
- What was the advocacy objective?
- Who did you advocate to?
- What methods did you use?
- What difficulties did you face?
- How did you overcome any difficulties?
- What were the results of your advocacy?
- What factors (or activities) contributed to these results?
- 1If appropriate: where did you obtain the evidence or information that was used?
- 1What sources of assistance/support did you find most helpful?
- What did you learn from doing this advocacy?
- Why do you think this is an important example?
- What do you think your organization could learn from this example?
Use photos, drawings or other ‘visuals’ to provide a human/animal angle to your information. Are the people and organizations featured in your case study aware of how it might be used, and what the consequences might be?
