This advocacy booklet has been developed to assist the Environmental Justice Network Forum (EJNF)'s national and provincial structures, task teams, and participation organisations (POs). Intended to serve as a guide for effective campaigning, the resource introduces the principles of effective advocacy work and suggests strategies for bringing about policy and practice changes through deliberate civil society action. The booklet covers issues such as what advocacy is, why advocate, who should advocate, whom one should advocate to, and offers detailed steps on how to advocate.

The booklet can be used as a training, planning or reference tool:

• to train community activists, task teams and POs in advocacy skills
• to develop a campaign strategy
• as an information resource and reference.

According to the publishers, the booklet is not intended to be prescriptive but, rather, should be adapted to meet each individual organisation's particular campaigning needs.
