7 Identifying the problem is Key n Macro level – is the PRSP pro-poor? n If pro-poor, is it gender-responsive? n How does specific issue (women garment workers & WTO) relate to other macro policy issues? – liberalization, lack of employment, rural development, HRD etc n Cambodian Team Experience - difficult to identify mainstream issues l Lack technical knowledge l Focused on women l Not “at the decision-making table”

8 To identify best strategies n Need: l Engendered data l Gender-responsive analysis by sex and other relevant socio-economic dimensions l Gender-sensitive national staff l Gender-sensitive international advisors and donors – especially for LDCs - especially when NOT considering women n Identify several alternative strategies n Evaluate pros & cons (gender perspective) n Assess costs and benefits n Select best strategy

9 Implementation – Advocacy Strategy Map Develop an Advocacy Map to identify: n stakeholders n roles of each stakeholder l Beneficiaries l Advocates l Policy makers l Programme implementation l Monitoring & evaluation n specific actions required of each n most effective advocates for each stakeholder

10 Developing an advocacy strategy n Consultations with stakeholder groups l To identify message to motivate stakeholder to act l Evidence needed to support – “sell” - the message to that stakeholder l Identify specific target and advocacy medium (lobbying? Campaign? Posters? etc) l Monitor implementation & results

National machineries for women & women’s NGOs have vital roles in advocacy & monitoring
