Session II- Future of Advocacy: Does Government see value in Advocacy?
Understanding the process of decision-making within the Government is
key to greater interaction between companies and bureaucracy. Advocacy,
by nature, has to remain dynamic. The future of advocacy, therefore, has
to remain rooted in providing transparent and honest policy inputs. How
supportive is the bureaucracy to advocacy? Do they view advocacy to be
a boon or a bane to development and policy creation? What is the role
that the bureaucracy expects from public affairs professionals? How can
companies build a constructive Government relation programme?
