Description

The project was conceived as an advocacy capacity building exercise involving students in directly lobbying Brussels and New York on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agenda in 2008.

It involved them in deciding what issues and lobbying points to focus on; who to direct their lobbying on and how to prepare a lobbying strategy. Considerable focus went into ensuring students were well-prepared and informed and the documents they used were of the highest standard possible.
