Advocacy Campaigns and Partnerships
Coalition building and campaigns that move laws, policy and practice, from the market stall to the parliamentary committee.
A law that nobody enforces is a press release with a longer shelf life. This programme is about the distance between a policy being adopted and a policy being felt in a market, a clinic or a kitchen.
We build coalitions, because a single organisation shouting at a ministry is easy to wait out. We put evidence in front of the people who write the rules, and we put the rules in front of the people they are supposed to protect. Journalists, market vendors, regulators, regional lawmakers, farmer associations: each of them holds a piece of the leverage.
Campaigns run for years, not weeks. We publish where each one stands so nobody has to take our word for how it is going.
What we are working towards
- Shift national and regional law toward healthier, fairer food systems.
- Hold duty bearers publicly accountable through evidence and organised pressure.
- Keep communities inside the policy conversation rather than downstream of it.
How we do it
Coalition building
Convening civil society, academics and consumer groups behind a single, specific ask.
Policy submissions
Written and oral evidence to ministries, standards bodies and parliamentary committees.
Media partnership
Training and briefing journalists so coverage is accurate and sustained.
