If you are engaged in public-private initiatives, then this meeting is for you. Below is an outline of the questions we are asking participants to share in a round table discussion format. Share your experiences, broaden your knowledge and ask the questions about the following points which seek to address ‘the why’ and ‘the how’ and less ‘the what’.

1. To share latest news of PPI implementations by member organisations.
2. To share what the drivers are for engaging with private companies.
3. To ask whether it has caused debate and opposition in your organisations and how you responded.
4. To share the types of approaches you have adopted towards engagement with private and public organisations and why these approaches were chosen. Did they meet expectations?
5. What has the learning been?
6. What are your next steps likely to be?

This webinar will cover the state of the world’s climate, what governments need to do, what advocates need to do, and what the church needs to do, with plenty of time for Q&A. Ben Niblett is the coordinator of the Renew Our World campaign and before that led Tearfund UK’s campaigns team for 10 years.
He’s won and lost campaigns on climate, and won some on transparency and corruption, WASH, aid and debt.

It is 2023, and we are getting back to rotating Advocacy Forums geographically. So, in 2023 Stockholm awaits!
PMU and LM International will host us, and we have an exciting programme that takes advantage of the Swedish presidency and the strong CSO networks in the capital. So, join us as we build on the momentum created in 2022 and strengthen our advocacy muscles.

Logistical details will follow soon; for any queries, email tabeth.masengu@eu-cord.org.

This webinar will consider how to seek funds for climate advocacy, the pros and cons of big grants for this work, and how to get government donors to invest more in this work. Tineke Harris and Joanne Green from Tearfund will share their insights based on their experience of securing two big grants from the Norwegian and UK governments for plastic waste projects, combining advocacy and programmatic work. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
