The Advocacy Project
The Advocacy Project serves community based advocates for peace and human rights. We give special attention to helping new networks become self sufficient in the use of information and communications technologies. A non-profit organization, The Advocacy Project is based in Washington DC.
Information is the lifeblood of advocacy, and we try to help our partners use information, and information technology more effectively. We do this with great care, because outsiders can potentially do tremendous damage when they impose "capacity building." Imposing aid may be the quickest way to stifle the qualities that are essential for advocacy - commitment, energy, and conviction. As a result, we do not actively market our services. Partners reach us by visiting our website, reading our newsletter, or hearing about us from others.
AP has a network of eRiders in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe and has managed several other eRiding projects in other countries.
