Many advocates tackle a challenge in very different ways, using a variety of tactics and tools in different legal and sociopolitical environments. These tactics and tools come from a wide range of institutional, organizational, political and geopolitical positions, with advocates who have varying capacities, organizational cultures and resources to contribute to the particular project in question.<\/p>\n

As an organization, we want to succeed with our advocacy: rectify an injustice, abolish a harmful law or policy, change discriminatory attitudes, protect people and communities against abuse, secure funds to protect health and save lives. To increase our chances of successfully making change, we want to be more systematic in assessing the impact of our advocacy efforts. What works or is working? What doesn\u2019t or isn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

In Advocacy and Social Justice: Measuring Impact<\/i>, we have tried to refine and distill some of our thinking about how to monitor and measure our impact as advocates, and to learn from that \u2014 particularly in relation to our legal advocacy work. Throughout this process, we have learned and hope that, with a continued commitment to ongoing learning, we will become better, stronger, more effective advocates.<\/p>\n

We hope you also find these tools useful in thinking through the challenges of how to monitor and evaluate legal advocacy.<\/p>\n

ADVOCACY IN ACTION:\u00a0CHARTING THE FUTURE OF CANADA’S DRUG POLICY<\/h2>\n

Advocacy in Action: Charting the future of Canada’s drug policy<\/em>\u00a0is a video that was developed concurrently with the\u00a0monitoring, evaluation and learning guide on legal advocacy. This\u00a0short documentary film showcases our efforts, actions and programs in promoting, defending, and expanding access to rights and equity for people living with HIV and specifically people who use drugs \u2014 a population in which regressive drug policy disproportionately affects women, Indigenous peoples, people of African descent, LGBTQI people, and people in poverty.<\/p>\n
