4. TARGETED ADVOCACY INTRODUCTION Impact on policies happens through advocacy. Advocacy is defined as actions undertaken by citizens and civil society groups with the aim to change policies, behaviours and practices, either societal or governmental, and defend laws and rights. Advocacy in aligning and integrating WASH and nutrition efforts plays a vital role in three dimensions: 1 Advocacy seeks to give a voice to people, especially the most vulnerable, on topics that are important to them, safeguard their rights and change government policies; 2 Advocacy supports people in accessing information and services; 3 Advocacy can help ensure accountability; civil society and other non-government stakeholders remind and demand governments to follow laws and fulfil responsibilities. 222 Depending on the objective, target group, scale and available resources, advocacy work varies widely. Raising awareness of the link and improving knowledge-sharing between sectors is still one of the challenges in WASH-Nutrition advocacy. A number of initiatives and coalitions have started advocating for integrated policy and programming on WASH and nutrition. Joint action for pursuing similar goals has been shown to be effective for improving service delivery, facilitating dialogue with governments and achieving political change. So has the work with “champions” (politicians, community leaders, health care providers, teachers, celebrities, etc.), who have passion for preventing child undernutrition. Identifying existing “champions” and supporting new ones can help you lead the action in promoting WASH and nutrition integration. There are many mechanisms that you can use to advocate for aligning WASH and nutrition efforts. The list of WASH advocacy tools and approaches in Table 14 is based on suggestions made by WaterAid. Additional advocacy tools that you can use include: Producing information materials (e.g. factsheets, video clips 223 ) Partnering with politicians or celebrities Facilitating exchange with stakeholders in the donor and NGO community through various forums 224 Partnering with politicians or celebrities who support your cause. Facilitating exchange with stakeholders in the donor and NGO community through various forums 225 International Days, defined by the United-Nations, are an excellent and visible opportunity for join WASH’Nutrition advocacy activities, either at local, national, or even global levels. (See Box 20) Here you can find some helpful hints on how increase the impact of your advocacy efforts: Factsheets should be simple and easy for the general population as well as decision-makers to understand. Place the most relevant and impactful statistics at the top of a document or in text boxes so they are more easily seen by the policymakers and advocacy targets reading them. NOTE Regular communications can help keep your issue fresh in a decision-maker’s mind. This can be done by frequently sharing new resources, publications, or case studies with your target. 222 - WaterAid/ UKaid (2013) “Engagement and advocacy for better WASH governance” 223 - Example of video clip: Generation Nutrition (2015), “Sanitation and nutrition: Let’s break the vicious cycle!” 224 - WASplus (2015), WASHplus Learning Brief – Integrating WASH and Nutrition 225 - Ibid 132 WASH’Nutrition A practical guidebook
