PPIMA
project is in its third phase of implementation, while it is building on the
experiences of the first and second phase (PPIMA I and II), there is a
realization that a strong advocacy strategy is critical to maximize the
project’s objectives and advance CSO contribution in the development processes of
Rwanda. Advocacy is important to bring about change at the national and local
level to influence behavioral change of citizens and their leaders. A generic
advocacy strategy has been developed by the programme and currently NPA is
seeking technical assistance to support 15 civil society partners in
development of their own advocacy strategies. All partners are
experienced in advocacy (either at District or National levels, or both), and
the intention of the support is to assist the formulation of their activities
into clear strategies.
