Humanitarian Protection Advocacy includes advocating for laws, policies and practices focused on protection needs, ranging from human rights, child protection, GBV, mental health needs, refugees and forced displacement or climate focused protection.

Advocacy and Artificial Intelligence: Advocacy is about to experience a seismic readjustment as a result of artificial intelligence. This will both challenge and provide opportunities for advocacy. On the challenge front, AI will fuel misinformation and disinformation that undermines social cohesion, the rule of law, human rights and access to justice. 

However AI will also be a force multiplier – assisting in research, distribution, access and increasing safety for all participants in the advocacy life cycle. 

Evaluating Advocacy: Evaluating advocacy impact can be challenging in the short term. This means specialist techniques and designs are needed to ensure outcomes and approaches are evaluated in a way that meaningfully reflects the program activity.

The Humanitarian Impact Institute will work with implementers at all stages of the advocacy and program life cycle to ensure effective evaluative and monitoring approaches are in place that are capable of measuring impact.
