Homework: Advocacy Action Plan- Your Purpose, Your Passion
This homework is the first part of a three-part advocacy action planning homework you will complete across the duration of this course. This series of homeworks is a major part of your grade. In this first part, you will identify a public health issue and organization that you care about (PASSION) and an idea you have that would improve that issue, or further the organization's mission, vision and values (PURPOSE).
Your advocacy action plan will consist of five steps. Homework 3.2 requires that you complete the first step in action planning which is to identify the problem or need. In order to do this, you will need to answer the following questions:
1) What issue are you planning to advocate for?
2) What organization do you plan to select to propose this action plan to?
3) Why is there a need for change? What is wrong with the present service or process?
4) What are the existing strengths and weaknesses? (You can apply the knowledge you gained in your SWOT analysis homework here!)
5) What are the potential gains, losses or risks of change?
6) Who will be affected?
7) How much will your proposed change cost?
8) What is likely to happen if no action is taken?
