We support the IBT’s public affairs work, leading their engagement with the DCSMs, Ofcom and with the broadcasting industry. We also mobilise support for IBT’s campaigns in Parliament, and we are delighted to help to deliver IBT’s Kids TV Campaign.
Event Management
We have organised some of the biggest and most impactful events on the UK development scene, on behalf of our clients. We also run independent events to put important issues on the political agenda. In June 2019, the Advocacy Team hosted the Opening Doors careers fair – the first careers event designed to help people from under-represented groups to break into development and to progress in their careers.
Policy & RESEARCH
Malaria No More UK
The Advocacy Team stepped in to help Malaria No More UK in the lead up to the 2019 Commonwealth Malaria conference. Lorriann Robinson wrote the 2019 Commonwealth Malaria Report, working with partners across the Commonwealth to present case studies documenting the experiences of eight Commonwealth countries in their fight against malaria.
We were also proud to work with the digital and creative team at Isobar to manage the development of a new Commonwealth Malaria Tracker, an interactive online tool that allows users to see how each malaria endemic Commonwealth country is progressing as they work to halve malaria by 2023.
