7. Using the Advocacy Planning Framework tool

This chapter turns to a more practical level by merging the essential foundations and elements of advocacy planning from chapters 3-6 into one comprehensive tool, designed to be user-friendly. The APF tool outlined in the first section of this chapter compiles the core planning questions from the checklists found throughout this guide into one easily accessible resource, which is designed to facilitate the process of advocacy planning with your team in a systematic manner. The second section of the chapter then offers practical guidelines and advice on how to use the tool effectively and efficiently in the process of planning an advocacy campaign with your team.
