Advocacy is the lead Programme at CAL. Our advocacy work is with movements. We believe that change happens through collective action coupled with passion and commitment to transformatory ideas and building friendship and solidarity between peoples and across geographic spaces and multiple locations. Policy advocacy is a small element in this. Holding those in power accountable for the changes is another means to achieve these ends. We are concerned in our advocacy with four domains of change – structural/systemic, institutional, ideological and personal/intrapersonal and interpersonal change.
