Advocate change!

The Advocacy Center is dedicated to enhance citizens and community influence in the process of policy creation and decision making.

The Advocacy Centers’ team believes that the citizens’ organizations and the citizens are the only ones who truly know the real conditions in society and that they are the key factor which should participate in the policy creation and decision making processes.

That`s why, the Center supports their ideas and initiatives through advocating for them and speaks up for their efforts to reach their goals.

The dynamic advocacy process

We have written about what is advocacy and we have shared some tips on how to be a good or a better advocate. Now, in a summarized way, we would like to make a short review on the elements that the advocacy process should cover. Advocacy is a dynamic process consisted of several elements which (more or less) should have a specific order. They are inter-related, but it does not mean that you have to use them in that particular order. You can adjust them to your needs and you can use them in the most useful way for you.
