Consultant for MEAL in Advocacy Training Series

BACKGROUNDDriven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort, growing to become a leading global non-profit working in more than 70 countries. For decades, Habitat for Humanity has set the stage for families, volunteers, donors, and supporters to come together, to build decent homes that provide the foundation for a better life. To ensure quality program delivery, Habitat uses an integrated approach that works across all spheres of the housing ecosystem – at the community, sectoral, and societal levels. Advocacy specifically, has emerged as a critical lever for driving change at scale.However, delivering this level of impact requires robust systems to measure progress and learn from experience.

Considering this, and in alignment with Habitat’s current strategic framework, there is a need to strengthen organizational capacity in the integration of advocacy in MEAL systems.
