e done at regular intervals—monthly or after a reasonable amount of time—and again at the end of a campaign. It is important to evaluate each activity in the plan in terms of whether or not it was completed and its results, always attempting to pinpoint which causes or factors contributed to an activity’s success or failure, and considering changes that could be made so that things go more smoothly and to strengthen the advocacy initiative. WOLA provides the following table as a useful tool for this task: Activity Desired outcomes Actual outcome Reasons or contributing factors Comments: Necessary adjustments 3) Evaluation of impact The impact of a political advocacy initiative must be evaluated on three levels corresponding to the three basic reasons why we engage in advocacy: • Solving specific problems through public policies, • Strengthening civil society, and • Promoting and consolidating democracy Solving specific problems through public policies. On this level, the outcomes of the advocacy initiative should be evaluated in relation to the formulated proposal. This is measured in terms of concrete changes that have been achieved in laws, existing policies, programs, commitments, and in behaviors associated with the problem posed. Here, it is also important to measure the progress (or lack of progress) made in getting the issue onto the public agenda. 94
Strengthening civil society. The impact at the level of civil society refers to strengthening the core group in charge of organizing the advocacy campaign, and to the capacities gained in terms of defending the changes that have been won together with other organizations. It also refers to carrying out new advocacy initiatives that are even more ambitious in the future. Promoting and consolidating democracy. Finally, accomplishments and failures should be evaluated in terms of their consequences for democratization. How have they contributed to building internal democracy within the core group and the coalition? Have new opportunities for citizen participation been improved through this process? In the case of struggles related to the situation of people with disabilities, progress in terms of prevailing underestimation and discrimination will also need to be examined. This aspect is very important, since the ultimate goal of political advocacy processes undertaken by civil society organizations is to effectively strengthen democracy in our nations. 95
