About GYCA's Political Advocacy E-Course:
This four-week e-course is a peer-to-peer training to educate young people
about effective political advocacy methodology. The course will train young
people to conduct advocacy centered around government commitments made at
the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS in June
2001, as well as implement community-level advocacy on local issues.
The course focuses around the following areas:
1) To create an action plan for research on government commitments to
date;
2) Establish solutions based on needs with a focus on youth-adult
collaboration;
3) Learn how to approach government officials and present those solutions
effectively;
4) Learn how to monitor and evaluate their work;
5) Follow up activity by facilitators with course participants.
The course will take four weeks and at least 6-8 hours/week. Participants
are expected to be dedicated and committed to the course. Participants will
end the course with an political advocacy action plan and will be expected
to follow up on it.
Criteria for a certificate of course completion is as follows:
1. Submit answers to weekly questions by the end of each week in order to
complete your Final Political Advocacy Plan.
2. Meaningfully contribute to the discussion board at least once for each
discussion topic (there will be three topics assigned per week)
3. Final Political Advocacy Plan should be completed and satisfactory (all
questions answered fully and coherently)
It is crucial that if you are considering applying, you must be devoted to
follow up post-course on a monthly basis. It is important that you stay in
contact with your facilitators about the progress of implementing the
information you learned.
The texts for the e-course are posted on-line. Participants may either read
them on-line or print them out. If you wish to print out the texts, please
be prepared for the cost of printing.
