Issues to address with regards to advocacy in Japan
In discussing these points, I can understand the problems we in Japan faced with with global anti-TB campaign
1. Gaps between groups 1 => particularly the view that there are "service oriented orgs" and "other or activist orgs"
2. Gaps between groups 2 => Local activity vs. broader/global action/issue focused
3. Lack of funds, staff with experience and training for Advocacy
4. NGOs view of Advocacy leads to the assumption ﾐ false or not ﾐ that it should/can or shouldnﾕt/canﾕt be part of their work
5. Activities vary by genre (I did not really understand why this was a relevant point.)
6. Many - including funders - see ADV idea as anti-Government not non G
7. Celebrity power not involved in Advocacy (why this was important may have to do with the recent involvement of high profile people in the make poverty history campaign. )
8. Terminology limiting ﾐ no equivalent term, lengthy explanation often necessary
9. Lack of strong coalitions, the lack of collaboration on action and campaigns thus far => lack of support base
10. Lack of structure for support
