GOAL Malawi and PRB will host a workshop to introduce active young advocates to the topic of population, environment, and development (PED), and teach them about evidence-based policy communication. Participants will learn how to define policy goals, identify target audiences, and craft communication objectives.
Date: 3-5 December 2019
Who:
Youth advocates ages 18 to 30 based in eastern, southern, and western Africa
Outcomes:
By the end of the workshop, participants will understand how issues such as family planning/reproductive health, natural resource management, conservation, and community development are interlinked.
They will be able to translate data and evidence into clear messages about the role PED investments and policies can play in community and natural development. Participants will also leave the workshop with a policy communication activity that they develop, related to PED in their own countries and communities.
Logistics:
Successful applicants will be required to meet their own visa costs. The project will pay for air tickets from their countries of residence to the training venue (Lilongwe), local transport in Lilongwe, accommodation, and food.
Participants will receive follow-up technical support to implement their activity.
