4) Other suggestions for designing a political advocacy plan
• The planning group should be small but representative of all organizations
involved in the process.
• It is very useful to define quantitative and qualitative indicators for the
desired outcomes of each activity, to facilitate an evaluation of results and
impact.
• It is advisable in advocacy initiatives to create work commissions that have
clearly defined functions, even though specific individuals are assigned responsibility
in the activity plan. The assignment of responsibility to more than
one person tends to dilute it, and in the end no one is responsible.
• It is important to insure that the dates set for specific activities in each strategy
follow a logical order.
• Each activity needs to be broken down into several sub-activities. It is useful
to make an even more detailed plan, and to define the times for each
sub-activity in order to meet the activity’s final deadline.
