management and coordination

What is campaigning/lobbying? • A campaigning/advocacy goal cannot be type
”worldpeace”-> it has to be focused, precise• A good goal is based on analysis ->– Societal analysis + political analysis (HR
analysis!)– Resource analysis + possibilities of co-operation– Research on the topic: is it available, is it
concrete, is it usefull -> do we need to do it by ourselves (if yes, how?)

What is campaigning/lobbying?

Unsuccessfull campaigning/lobbying ->
• Lack of focus• Unclear aims and objectives• Activity planning happening before
(or without) developing an influencing strategy
• Failure to be innovative• Vague, bland or technical messages• Poor monitoring & evaluation
