ICPA Publishes Practical Guide to Policy Advocacy
The International Centre for Policy Advocacy (ICPA) has published an accessible guide for practitioners, 'Advocacy Planning: A Practical Guide'. The full guide is available online and can be downloaded as a PDF. Released in 2012, it provides a useful tool for think tanks to design research strategies and plan stakeholder interactions.
The guide introduces the Advocacy Planning Framework (APF), helping think tanks navigate the complex landscape of policy advocacy. It presents different approaches to policy advocacy and offers insights into how research feeds into decision-making once issues are on the agenda, illustrated with a graphic from one of its chapters.
The guide is a product of the ICPA itself, created by Eoín Young and Lisa Quinn. It aims to understand and share best practices in research-based advocacy, particularly in transition contexts. Eoín Young, one of the authors, will facilitate a session at the upcoming Think Tank School 2025 on effective policy advocacy. The authors reflect on the role of research evidence in policymaking throughout the guide.
The 'Advocacy Planning: A Practical Guide' by the International Centre for Policy Advocacy offers a comprehensive tool for think tanks to plan and execute effective policy advocacy. With its focus on transition contexts and research-based advocacy, the guide is a valuable resource for practitioners. Eoín Young's upcoming session at the Think Tank School 2025 promises to build on the insights provided in the guide.
