Advocating for All, Advocacting for Nothing --- "To have focus" is an important note when doing Advocacy. Based on experience, organisations that don't have the official mandate and expertise in doing Advocacy, but use the concept in their daily work, often don't have priorities but a long list of scattered points that they want to advocate for with single stakeholders. This lack of prioritisation and focus does not let the organisations progress with their Advocacy and sometimes creates a setback - mainly when there is no ToR for doing Advocacy, and non-experts do it.
