CAMPAIGNING GLOBALLY
ICDI national, regional and international reputation and experience are important to its research, lobbying and advocacy work. It employs an integrated, systematic approach and strategies to engage the ordinary people and authorities to join together to show decision–makers that they care about development and social reforms in the world, and to demand change.
In the United King
dom and EU, and some countries of West and Southern Africa, we have constantly been in process of building networks and data-bases for around 50,000 youths and several adults who are serving and volunteering as ICDI researchers and campaigners, who helps to engage communities and collate information, engage in project delivery and implementation, and put pressure on those with the power to make a difference, either by presenting facts through research, visiting them, or holding special events to attract local and national media attention and raising public awareness of national and global issues, or take part in peaceful protests at meetings of national and world leaders to influence reform issues and policy thrusts.
As a long-term strategic focus, ICDI is also campaigning side by side with other major and global ‘partner’ organizations, both in UK and elsewhere, to ensure that it makes a truly global impact.
