Policy Advocacy at Different Levels
The Objectives of promoting Policy advocacy at different levels are:
- To facilitate the farmers’ CBOs and the farmers, to identify their
livelihood issues related to; (a) Government Agriculture policies, (b)
Implementation of basic services like PDS, NREGP, (c) Alternate non-farm
livelihoods etc.
- To mobilise collective voice of people on issues for effective
representation at various relevant echelons of Government machinery for
effective Lobby & Advocacy.
- To do advocacy with State/Central Governments for pro-poor policies, by
forming networks /grids of CBOs, NGOs & CSOs.
During the last 2 years, AF conducted policy campaigns on two major themes, i.e. Sustainable Agriculture & NREGP.
