Advocacy capacity toolbox for resilience

Capacity strengthening of civil society organisations (CSOs) for a strong advocacy/policy dialogue role with decision makers, takes centre stage in Partners for Resilience (PfR). Because the core business of PfR is engaging stakeholders in developing and implementing policies, practices and investments that integrate Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Ecosystem Management and Restoration (EMR) in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR): Integrated Risk Management (IRM).

To foster a wide uptake by PfR partners and other actors, after ten years of working together the programme has taken stock of the important advocacy capacity resources used and generated and brought these together in this Toolbox. Its six modules and resource booklet provide concise guidance in conducting training and workshop sessions on IRM and its components DRR, CCA and EMR, as well as on developing an advocacy strategy and steps in advocating on IRM related topics. The materials have been used to roll out training on advocacy for IRM in the four countries.
