Body

The Manual Práctico de Incidencia Política is the practitioner manual on political-incidence (advocacy) methodology published by UNESCO’s Health Education Resources portal [source: manual-incidencia-politica]. The manual’s full title is Manual Práctico de Incidencia Política para Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil and it is targeted at civil-society organisations working in UNESCO’s programme countries [source: manual-incidencia-politica]. UNESCO’s Health and Education programme publishes a series of practitioner manuals aimed at civil-society organisations in the Global South, of which this manual is the political-incidence-oriented volume [source: manual-incidencia-politica].

Coverage: the manual walks through the political-incidence methodology - policy analysis, stakeholder mapping, agenda-setting, coalition-building, advocacy tactics, monitoring, evaluation - with worked examples drawn from UNESCO programme countries and from the broader Global South civil-society experience [source: manual-incidencia-politica]. The manual is structured as a sequential curriculum, so a CSO can use it as a training programme rather than just a reference [source: manual-incidencia-politica]. UNESCO distributes the manual as a free downloadable PDF, which makes it one of the most accessible political-incidence curricula for non-Anglophone CSOs [source: manual-incidencia-politica].

A campaigner reaches for it when designing a political-incidence curriculum in Spanish for a CSO context, when training new advocates in the UNESCO programme tradition, or when sourcing UNESCO authority for a Global-South advocacy argument [source: manual-incidencia-politica]. Treat as link-only. [source: manual-incidencia-politica]
