Advocacy Progress Planner
Is achieving this policy goal the best way to achieve the impact we want?
Have we chosen too many policy goals? Do not select more than two or three goals.
Who has the authority to make the changes that need to be made?
Who influences them?
Is our audience narrow and specific enough to take on?
What is going on outside of this campaign that might affect my advocacy efforts? Consider both positive and negative factors.
Are the activities we've chosen the best ways to reach our audience?
Are those activities the best way to move towards our policy goals?
Are these activities possible with what we’re bringing to the table?
What is the capacity of the organization?
Does the organization have what it takes to pursue the advocacy goal?
What is the best way to get what we need to get the job done?
What does success look like? What interim steps would lead us to it? Those may be your meaningful benchmarks
How will we know if you've met our benchmarks? Are they measurable?
We may not reach our policy goal this time. What skills or capacities do we need to put in place so we're ready the next time a
"policy window" opens?
