Title
INFORMATION POLICY ADVOCACY AND LOBBYING
Creator
DR. CHIPO MUTONGI
Description
If some ideas, decisions and policies are not advocated and lobbed for, they would remain unknown
to implementers and to the general public. It is imperative to advocate and lobby for different information
policies in order for those in power to see the value and reasons for the formulation and implementation of the
information policies. Probably it is lack of awareness that is not bringing those policy changes. This article
explores information policy advocacy and lobbying as well as distinguishing information policy advocacy from
lobbying. Some reasons for information policy advocacy failure are given and some ways of making
information policy advocacy a success are established
