The Forum is Not a Project
Governance
The advice provided within this document stems from interviews with 18 NGO forum secretariats, multiple donor agency representatives, and host agency staff at both field and HQ levels.
While each NGO fora is unique in its membership, structure, scope and strategic direction, this brief guide to delivering joint advocacy has been developed to be relevant to humanitarian NGO fora of any size or scale. The components within the guide can be used together, or individually, and may be tailored to the needs of each coordination fora. The guide looks specifically at components of humanitarian advocacy from a perspective of delivering joint NGO advocacy; it is tailored to the collective advocacy work of NGO Fora.
