Advocacy

Advocacy is a process that involves the preparation of a strategy to protect interests within a broad structure, considering legal, political, financial and social aspects of a cause or proposal.

Advocacy comprises the drafting of proposals to improve public policies through the development of ethical government relations. It is a multidisciplinary practice by which the analysis and relationships with a myriad of stakeholders, decision-makers, public officials and privates agents, are relevant.

Advocacy initiatives and the definition of strategic actions are carried out in collaboration with other fields of expertise. Communication channels and collective actions with civil societies play a major role in the search for a unique strategy that will be effective, efficient and deliver high-quality public policies.
