At M+R, our approach to international advocacy focuses on empowering communities and individuals with the tools to engage their leaders and governments effectively.
Since 2004, we have helped build the Save Darfur Coalition into an international movement with more than 1 million supporters on four continents. Through our ongoing strategic work with PATH, we are helping establish a regional advocacy network in Africa to control and eradicate malaria. Today, M+R staff is also working on-the-ground in Botswana to provide reality-based research, outreach to key decision-makers and timely intelligence for our clients’ work in sub-Saharan Africa.
Our international experience extends to past and present work with:
- Habitat for Humanity International, building and implementing a comprehensive online fundraising program, as well as managing HFHI’s 2008 Lobby Day and training HFHI advocates to build and run effective campaigns;
- Oxfam America, providing issue and organizational assessments, campaign planning and implementation, strategic communications, rapid-response campaigns, and online advocacy and fundraising;
- Human Rights First, providing ongoing online program planning, strategic communications, media outreach, and other services;
- Consumer International, providing campaign strategy and planning to protect international consumer rights;
- World Wildlife Fund, providing strategic guidance to address the Kyoto Accord and the threat of global climate change;
