| Summary |
Advocacy strategies have long been part of campaigns to build support for a particular cause or struggle,and the history books are peppered with concrete examples of advocacy initiatives.Even in our own times,we have witnessed policy changes that can occur through the powerful persuasion of
advocacy.Each successful advocacy strategy takes place in and represents a
specific moment in time. Yet,while advocacy arises from and must respond
to a unique context,the advocacy strategies presented in this manual can
be adapted and applied in other settings. |

This advocacy manual highlights some of the advocacy moments of
our time as told from the unique perspective of those who are engaged in
advocacy work in communities around the world. Despite the availability of
several excellent guides to advocacy, no group or individual has developed a
manual that offers a tapestry of stories as a practical resource for advocacy
training, reflective learning, and strategic planning. The manual thus begins a
process of documenting HIV/AIDS policy advocacy stories as a means of preserving
them and making them available to others as more and more people become involved
in HIV/AIDS advocacy issues.
While the manual capitalizes on many of the HIV/AIDS global
advocacy efforts that have emerged over the past 20 years, we purposefully
selected stories of grassroots advocates who have been working within and among
the following constituent groups:
We chose these groups because a central feature of HIV/AIDS
advocacy is the need to promote the greater involvement of those most affected
by HIV/AIDS at all levels of decision making. We hope that the stories and
analysis in the manual provide a tool to help develop the capabilities to think
about, design, and implement a variety of creative advocacy campaigns that meet
the challenges of our time. |
