In our advocacy role we speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Our lobby work in the North will focus on Dutch and EU-level policymaking and business practices that influence lives of the world’s most vulnerable in the global South. We will maintain and develop our position in networks and partnerships to increase our influence. Our lobby targets will be politicians, civil servants and international businesses. To gain the mandate for our lobby work we will be sharp on using learning and best practices from our programs, and where possible make direct linkages with lobby projects in Brussels or The Hague.
Continued lobby focus will be on increased policy coherence, through the Building Change campaign, and International Responsible Business Conduct. New initiatives will explore working more effectively with expert organizations in the area of inclusion and climate mitigation and adaptation.
