Building Lobby Capacity (FACT) in East Africa

Agriterra is actively involved in the promotion of farmers organizations' lobby and advocacy work in developing countries through its Farmers Advocacy Consultation Tool (FACT). One of Agriterra's key objectives is to increase farmers' influence towards key decision makers with respect to a better enabling environment for farmers to strengthen their position in the sector. Agriterra is building the lobbying capacity of Federations and Unions in East Africa using the FACT-methodology. Through the FACT-methodology, the capacity of these farmer organisations is strengthened to raise key lobbying issues to decision-makers in the interest of their members.
