An ‘advocacy wheel’ diagram from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—which used it to help improve outcomes for children’s nutrition by way of the UN Sustainable Development Goals—presented by Hien Tran at a Livestock Advocacy and Communications Convening held at ILRI’s Ethiopia campus in Nov 2015.
In November last year (2015), a group of livestock-related communications professionals from non-governmental, regional and international institutions met for 2.5 days in Addis Ababa to begin to think through ‘advocacy-oriented’ kinds of communications to support sustainable livestock development in poor countries worldwide.
Hosted by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the 28 participants included several representing non-governmental organizations (NGOs):
- ActionAid Tanzania and ActionAid International–East and Southern Africa
- Agricultural Transformation Agency Ethiopia
- Farm Africa
- Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Vaccines (GALVmed)
- Heifer Tanzania
- Mercy Corps Ethiopia
