Advocacy and Influencing Training for Eco-advocacy Groups in Ninawa
In collaboration with SIDA, Oxfam executed a project with the objective of enhancing the economic resilience of women in specific agriculture value chains. Under this project, HAD was selected to provide training to designated eco-groups on advocacy and influencing. The training encompassed an implementation task, during which participants formulated an advocacy campaign on a topic of their choosing. The entire project was conducted in a participatory manner, ensuring that all stakeholders in the intervention had a voice, either in person or through representation.
The training unfolded in three phases. The initial phase involved the trainer engaging with the groups to identify issues and ascertain the need for training. The second phase consisted of a tailored 4-day training session delivered to the participants, whilst the final phase consisted of a post-training mentoring session to assist the groups in identifying and finalising their campaign strategies and action plans.
