A shared power analysis is developed with stakeholders at the outset of any campaign development, with all relevant stakeholders mapped and consulted in ways tailored to their particular needs. Internal stakeholders such as affiliate representatives might be engaged to help co-create the policy position; whereas with external stakeholders such as potential coalition allies they might share and adopt a common strategy; and with potential targets of their advocacy they might engage as sounding boards to informally check their objectives and key messages.
They aim for all major campaigns to be subject to periodic ‘Action Reviews’, where stakeholders mapped in the original design phase are brought together to monitor progress and ensure advocacy positions are modified to respond to their feedback and ongoing developments.

45,000+ organizations operating in 180+ countries are using the Global Standard to guide their work and put people at the heart of their accountability measures. Now, the 10 cohosts are working to review and refresh the Standard to ensure its fit for the future too. If you work in or with civil society, and believe our accountability practice should center the people we work for and with, we want to hear from you.
