In my community, the voices of youth calling for peace are heard;
and issues raised are addressed

influence their policies and practice on Peace in our country

we have an effective GenPeace leadership structure that ensures efficient support to the
whole network especially supporting local activities

How effective were we in our previous advocacy work?
Various advocacy activities were done; strategic theory of change (impact objectives) not clear; need to reflect on sustainability (strategic follow through)
Established regional connection and established network (organizational expression), developed capacities and they somehow made actions
Created widespread connection in key areas (Were our voices heard? How effective?)
![Page 8: Connect, Empower and Transform!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815161550346895dbf887a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
