OUR WORK
Amplify & Advocate
We use amplification & advocacy tactics to bring partners’ presence, expertise, and priorities to local, national, regional & global spaces they want to influence.
AMPLIFY recognizes the power of “being in the room” and advocates for the inclusion of CDOs in global decision-making spaces. We then use these spaces to advocate for improved resource allocation to CDOs and improved recognition of their insights when it comes to agency-building practices. We champion a narrative focused on the fact that localized approaches and solutions create long-term sustainable change, and AMPLIFY uses the power of our collective voice to illustrate the impact of CDOs and shift global investment to a local level.
By forging these relationships, we believe we can create a shift in the way resources are allocated and build an understanding of how important community-driven organizations – and the localized approaches and solutions they implement - are to creating long-term sustainable change.
Our collective of partners design and implement campaigns centered around our core advocacy messages:
Localized development is best suited to meet the needs of the community.
Localized leadership creates trust and yields greater impact and sustainability.
Context is crucial and localized problems are best solved by developing localized solutions.
Communities are unique. What works in one community might not work in another – understanding the nuances is imperative to creating effective programs.
Intentional collaboration creates access to best practices and allows smaller organizations to adopt solutions to their needs and forge relationships with similar, like-minded organizations.
Scale can be re-imagined to be inclusive of community-driven development.
