STEP 2: MAP YOUR NETWORK 2 10 min Brainstorm who you could partner with in your network to help develop your idea, access knowledge and experience and build your power base. Link up with other youth organisations in your country (include organisations with different expertise to yours) Young people Young groups & organisations Local government YOUR STAKEHOLDERS People who have an interest in the issues CSO working on governance & accountability National government National CSO networks focussing on post-2015 16
STEP 3: FIND OUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NATIONAL LEVEL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS IN YOUR COUNTRY 3 15 min or with research, 60 min Together with other youth organisations, research the people or institutions who will be involved in deciding how your country responds to the SDGs. Split them into: Primary person or institution: the policy makers and influencers who have the power to set the national level implementation plan. Ask: who is your country’s representative or the leading department in the SDGs? This varies country to country, e.g. Planning Department, Office of Foreign Affairs, etc. Secondary person or institution: the person or group you can influence who in-turn can influence your primary focus. This could be the UN resident coordinator, chairs of the National Youth Council, or a civil society representative. Next, organise and prioritise your targets, identifying who you can most easily influence that will have the highest impact. Consider: How could you educate them about the SDGs? Be positive, celebrate what they have already done in the MDGs, and highlight the widespread advantages that securing the #5pledges would bring for everyone What political gain will they achieve by getting involved? Election times are particularly useful! What cross-ministerial committees are there on the SDGs? Is there a civil society platform already influencing the government who you could work with? What’s the best way to get their attention? Grab some colourful pens and paper and think of all the ways to influence decision-making on your issue. Get creative! haveyouseenmyrights.org 17
