AfA POLICY COALITION EVENTS
APC Policy Clinic
Policy advocacy is a cornerstone of animal protection efforts, serving as a vital catalyst for improving the welfare of animals. It encompasses a multitude of collaborative avenues for organizations to engage with one another, collaborate with governmental bodies, and work alongside intergovernmental organizations to champion the cause of animals. Yet, participating in policy advocacy is no small feat, demanding a profound grasp of current trends, tailored strategies, robust partnerships, and honed skills. Recognizing the pressing need for a platform that facilitates the exchange of expertise within this domain, we proudly introduce the Policy Clinic.
The AfA Policy Coalition (APC) endeavors to establish a common ground where seasoned advocates can share their invaluable insights and best practices. This initiative aims to empower and bolster the capabilities of organizations keen on making a difference in the field of animal welfare.
With this mission in mind, we are delighted to unveil the launch of three virtual events in the series titled 'AfA Policy Clinic - the Essentials for Your Advocacy Work in Asia' this year. Our upcoming event is scheduled for November 24, 2023. For those interested in revisiting previous webinar sessions, please scroll down to access the archived content.
