B. Conclusions of the self-analysis. Let’s assume that using our same example, this self-analysis process leads us to the following conclusions: STRENGTHS: • Strong grassroots base, including the population affected by the problem. WEAKNESSES: • A lack of planning experience. • Highly credible leaders. • Little understanding about how the state functions. • The clear and unified vision and mission of our organization. • Insufficient access to concrete and up to date information about the problems being addressed. • Willingness to work. • Limited economic resources. C. Identification of possible solutions to the weaknesses identified. When this internal review (self-analysis) is completed, we will have detected some weaknesses (the four in the table above). We then need to look for solutions to the weaknesses that have been detected. The following table contains examples of how to improve such weaknesses: WEAKNESSES: POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: • A lack of planning experience. • Organize a workshop that provides in-depth coverage of techniques for planning political advocacy campaigns. • Little understanding about how the state functions. • Insufficient access to concrete and up to date information about the problems being addressed. • Plan training workshops about the functions of the Supreme Court and the Legislative and Executive branches of government. • Plan joint research with a university or research institute. • Limited economic resources. • Develop a project and plan for seeking funding from international donors. 74
2) Opportunities and Threats Now that we have identified our strengths and weaknesses and have formulated some possible solutions to help our organization overcome its detected weaknesses, the next step is identifying opportunities and threats in the political scenario where we are carrying out our advocacy campaign. Opportunities favor the campaign and enhance its possibilities of success, while threats are unfavorable external factors that may pose obstacles or risks to the campaign. When planning our strategies, it is important to know how to take advantage of the opportunities and minimize the impact of the threats. In the following table, we summarize the most common threats and opportunities, based on WOLA’s experience in Central America: OPPORTUNITIES: • Allies who have a strong influence on decision-makers. • A great range of media outlets (including alternative media) operating in the country. • A general concern in national and international arenas about the issue being addressed. • Political space for mobilizations, without repression. • The Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons has recently entered into force. THREATS: • An Executive branch with little openness to dialogue with the citizenry. • An Executive branch that views organized citizens as a threat. • Reductions in donations from international cooperation agencies to Central America. • Little access to data and information from governmental ministries. • Universities and research institutes show little willingness to coordinate or collaborate on systematizing concrete data about the problem that concerns us. 75
