Day 6 – Final Day of the Training On the last day of our training, we discussed how to develop an advocacy work plan. An advocacy work plan helps to clearly define the objectives of the activities we want to carry out. #shesoars #SRHR

Day 5: Our team continued participating in the SHE SOARS training led by @NigeeKenya , focusing on legal and policy advocacy. We explored the policy and law-making processes, stakeholder engagement, power analysis, and the role of evidence in influencing decisions .
