This report presents a collection of six case studies and two synthesis briefs that are the outcomes of a so-called ‘action learning trajectory’. The case studies are prepared by the partners of the coalition: IPPF Africa Region, YWCA Kenya, Faith to Action Network and OAFLAD (see Overview of case studies). Each case study documents and reflects on a specific piece of advocacy work carried out in the campaign. The case studies form the basis of two synthesis briefs: one on ‘Progressing on the unfinished business’, and another one on ‘Coalition-building and multilevel connections’. Both synthesis briefs seek to pull out strategies and joint learning across the diverse advocacy processes that are presented in the six case studies.
Between 2018 and 2020 KIT facilitated the action learning trajectory with the SoAW partners. The aims of the trajectory were threefold:
1. to build capacities of consortium partners, CSOs and champions to critically interrogate their advocacy actions, and reflect on achievements and challenges,
2. to recalibrate advocacy activities, and
3. to document experiences and lessons learned from advocacy initiatives.
The action learning trajectory invited and supported the participating partners and their champions to shift from activity mode to documenting their work. It also sought to shift their attention from donor reporting to reflection and learning.
