"Closing the Circle: From measuring policy change to assessing policies in practice "Produced by: Development Dialogue Team, Save the Children UK2003. "This paper presents an overview of the current literature regarding the impact assessment of advocacy. This is a growing area of interest as more non-governmental organisations (NGOs) become involved in advocacy and policy work. Save the Children UK, in its shift towards a rights-based approach to development, has become involved in more advocacy initiatives at local, national and international levels and, like many Northern NGOs, is continuously charged with making difficult organisational choices regarding resource allocation, staffing and management. Save the Children UK is therefore concerned with ensuring its advocacy work is cost-effective and capable of bringing about real changes in children’s lives. Improving advocacy impact assessment is, therefore, critical in ensuring the organisation’s accountability to the children and communities it supports, while at the same time demonstrating to donors and management the impact of its advocacy work."
