Advocacy & Influencing
The most effective ways to achieve sustainable change are to get the desired change embedded in law and to influence others to be part of the change.
I led an advocacy team who were doing great work holding companies to account for plastic waste and bringing waste-pickers into UN Treaty negotiations.
My experience includes:
Directing a NORAD-funded environmental advocacy project.
Managing government relations and engagement strategy.
Embedding advocacy in project activities to change the enabling environment.
Influencing through formal consultations.
