Advocacy
We discovered advocacy as a major tool in our work, seeing that the work to be done in the field of family breakdown prevention, child protection and family strengthening is almost overwhelming.
PFS advocates for effective policies and resource commitments among stakeholders through the child protection, human rights and development communities.
Our team is working to better influence issues, legislation, appropriations, and public policy by increasing awareness and engaging with policymakers, key constituencies, and other policy influencers.
Attempting to use evidence-based advocacy, we leverage our unique passion as a CSO with solutions that are innovative, need-driven, scalable, cost-effective, and based on best practices to influence and inform public policy decisions.
We draw on the expertise of partners to push the agenda for the welfare of children as we empower families to care for them.
