Advocacy is taking action to support a cause or proposal. It encompasses educating and mobilizing citizens, and involving them in developing and promoting policies they care about.
We complement all our work overseas with policy analysis and advocacy at the AU and AU Member States. We select policy issues on which to advocate. We analyse country and regional trends, identify issues that impact multiple countries in the region, and consider ways to address them. AU Watch staff, our partners help determine priority issues for advocacy.
We work with the African Commission and other AU policy and human rights organs and AU Member States to understand what needs to happen at a systemic level to end slavery and human trafficking for ever. We understand that those closest to the issue help us identify interventions that can make a widespread and lasting difference. We then translate those needs into targeted policy advocacy.
