Advocacy toolkit: Influencing the post-2015 agenda

This toolkit is for civil society and other stakeholder organisations, coalitions and individuals that wish to influence
the post-2015 development agenda, including the design and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The toolkit supports advocacy activities at the national, regional and international levels. It does not assume a given level of experience in either the post-2015 development agenda or in advocacy activities. Whether you follow each section and step in turn as a newcomer to the agenda, or only consult those new or relevant to you in order to support a more established programme, we hope it will prove useful to all.

The toolkit should equip one with relevant information and tools to enable one to develop and implement an effective post-2015 advocacy strategy.

In particular the toolkit will help one to:

Understand the key post-2015 development agenda processes, including the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the distinction between goals, targets and indicators;
–
Identify opportunities to influence the agenda at national, regional and global levels;
–
Identify key post-2015 stakeholders and decision-makers, and their relative influence at national, regional and
global levels;
–
Decide on your post-2015 advocacy priorities;
–
Develop a comprehensive action plan to influence your government and/or relevant intergovernmental bodies;
–
