Talk:Advocacy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Would it be possible to have a slightly less US centric take on this term? Here in the UK, advocacy generally refers to a very individual process of representation (not least in the mental health and disabilities fields), professional legal stuff (Scotland) or rights based campaigning. Don't think this is necessarily reflected in the current version. Maybe teh topic needs to split?

This disambiguation does not respond fully to Graeme's point. I have added a page on Independent Advocacy, but really this is just advocacy practised by independent people through advocacy schemes that are set up in certain ways. What I want to ask is, is it right to separate 'independent' advocacy in this way, or should key parts of that definition be included in this article? Visctrix 22:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- I do not remember nor read above having claimed to fully address GraemeE17's point. However, this is a wiki, and GraemeE17 could address his own points. Hyacinth 23:24, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] publicprivatedialogue.org
This link: Public Private Dialogue A resource for advocacy practitioners wishing to promote policy reforms through dialogue (sponsored by World Bank, IFC, OCED, DFID, GTZ)
Was added by an IP address registered to the World Bank Group (publicprivatedialogue.org is a World Bank project). In keeping with our conflict of interest and external links guidelines I've moved it here for consideration by regular editors of this article who are unaffiliated with the site. -- Siobhan Hansa 18:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Significant changes Mar08
I was going to write a simple disambiguation page for this - but decided on a slightly different approach. This should help with the points by Visctrix and GraemeE17 (I hope). Also, it should respond to the proposal to merge this article with 'Interest group'. Rowmn (talk) 13:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
