Christian Aid Consultancy at Christian Aid to produce a People’s Stimulus Advocacy Toolkit. Jobs in Nigeria
Purpose of this ToolkitThe toolkit aims to equip CA countries and partners with a practical resource for advocacy to influence the post-Covid-19 political agenda.
The two guiding themes for the reconstruction agenda should be economic justice and climate justice however the toolkit will integrate gender and social inclusion as cross cutting themes in its reflections and proposals.
Covid-19 has demonstrated the inadequacies of the current broken economic system which is in essence fuelling poverty. Its hallmark traits are riddled with inequality, over consumption, mass deprivation and environmental degradation.
The effects of which are an imbalance in power that often hits the poorest first and hardest especially women and those experiencing intersecting discrimination.
This toolkit will seek to chart a path towards effectively influencing policy and practice by suggesting and outlining practical strategies at national, regional and global level how to:
Empower CA staff and partners on how to develop and maximise effective campaigns and advocacy activities themselves
Build movements and coalitions (traditional and non-traditional); persuading their members, constituency, congregation, partner organisations and pertinent stakeholders to join the People’s Stimulus movement.
Equipping Caid staff and partners with theological reflections which will enable them to engage effectively and appropriately with faith-based actors
The toolkit will provide an easy to use resource kit that will highlight:
The devastating impact of Covid-19 and why a sustainable reconstruction model is crucial in the post-Covid-19 era as a key change objective identifying cross linkages with areas such as gender and social inclusion
That Covid19 stimulus packages put interests of big corporates in terms of tax incentives, tax cuts and bailouts ahead of the interests of those most impacted by the crisis,
It will also look at support to fossil fuel companies / mining companies that create particular risks and harmful impacts on environment, climate and human rights, while supporting stimulus to community owned and managed enterprises.
It will detail how to lead and engage in an effective advocacy strategy at national, regional and global levels including with and towards faith leaders.
It will identify key advocacy moments at the regional and global levels and detail opportunities for influencing
It will also identify key stakeholders at national, regional and global levels working on social, economic and political reconstruction efforts post-Covid-19 to engage and their prospective roles during recovery advocacy
It will also detail plans and strategies for measuring impact and outcome
It will also make provision for reflection periods on advocacy and a follow-up plan.
It will also incorporate guide case studies for reflection on effective and ineffective advocacy.
The toolkit will provide guidance for advocacy, public campaigning and media outreach, thus enabling CA and partners to develop their own tailored initiatives.
Audience(s)
This toolkit aims to empower Christian Aid Country Offices and their partners to effectively engage in People’s Stimulus Advocacy.
It will deliberately reflect on the interconnectedness of post-Covid-19 reconstruction efforts and a need for concerted efforts by states, regional economic blocs, international financial institutions, inter-governmental organisations, private sector, civil society, the faith-based community and citizen(s) to spearhead and commit to a sustainable reconstruction trajectory.
How we think the toolkit will be used by these audiences, including in the UK
The toolkit will be
used as a training, capacity strengthening and building resource for CA Country Teams and partners. This will be integrated and can also be adapted for the needs of community of practices not only working on Economic Justice and Climate Justice, but also Health, Gender, Inclusive Markets, Governance, Resilience and other themes related to the Recovery agenda.
The resource will further be shared with country staff. Support and training can be provided to its use. The toolkit will further be posted on CA website and on yammer as a resource kit for CA Staff across the organisation.
The resource kit will also be translated into French to ensure that it is useful to French Speaking Countries and their partners.
