Activist Toolkit

 

For more than 30 years RESULTS has equipped individuals around the world with advocacy skills necessary to become true agents of change.

RESULTS has devised unique methods of training, coaching and supporting individuals to overcome resignation about their ability to make a difference, to powerfully voice their opinions to their elected representatives and to work strategically with others to build public support for ending poverty.

Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or only just starting to realise your potential to generate the political will to end poverty, this series of advocacy guides has been created to help you become as effective as possible at taking action and developing champions for the eradication of poverty in your community.

Explore the menu of briefing sheets and audio recordings for tips on how to start and grow a RESULTS group, hone your advocacy skills, engage members of your community and much more.
