Washington, DC: Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) (1999), iv, 58 pp., tables, bibliogr. p.54
"The manual was written for trainers around the world who seek to improve the advocacy skills of NGO leaders. While much of the background information and role play scenarios deal directly with reproductive health issues, a trainer could adapt the sessions for other contexts. The manual is directed toward trainers with substantial experience and a commitment to participatory methodologies. Less experienced trainers are urged to review Training Trainers for Development: Conducting a Workshop on Participatory Training Techniques (1995)." (Introduction, p.1)
