Advocacy How to advocate?

Advocacy What is the problem? What is the evidence of the problem? Do we work in the area? What is the cause of the problem? Are there any institutions that can bring about change? Are there ways the community can bring about change? Which organisations work on the issue and do coalitions or organisations/groups exist? ACOSS - cacyCamp06.pdf
