The discourse will bring together over 100 civil society actors including non-governmental organizations, media stakeholders, private sector and public institutions to discuss what effective advocacy strategies looks like. The 2.0 Mindset series will provide a platform where experience from different governance experts can be shared; identify and discuss the challenges of advocating for policy reforms; and discuss ways in which the challenges have been and can be addressed.
