Action plan: Policy dialogue (Eastern and Southern Africa)

The document outlines three policy activities: 1) identifying policy issues and gaps, 2) advocacy and lobbying for policy changes, and 3) setting up policy discussion forums. The objectives are to increase policy awareness, influence sustainable policy decisions, and engage policymakers in developing recommendations. Key stakeholders include governments, thematic groups, beneficiaries, and non-state actors. Expected results are a sustained favorable policy framework, improved policies, and effective policy implementation and decision making. The activities will be implemented over 1 year and monitored through indicators such as meetings held, capacity building sessions, and follow ups conducted.
