Naymote Partners for Democratic Development have produced a Legislative Engagement Guide for Advocacy in Liberia (LEGAL).

The development of this publication is inspired by our institution decade-long advocacy to promote democratic accountability and transparency in Liberia’s governance processes as well as increasing legislators’ responsiveness to the needs and aspirations of the people who elected them. The guide is keen on practical experiences, best practices and strategies that have proven to be successful and effective during legislative advocacies and civic engagements.

The primary objective of this guide is to promote the culture of legislative openness and responsiveness in Liberia. Additionally, the guide endeavours to promote transparency in public policy formulation and ensure engagement of civil society organizations and citizens in the legislative process in Liberia.

This publication provides an in-depth analysis of legislative advocacy highlighting the steps and tools to be used when advocating for the passage of a bill/legislation or to influence a legislative action. Moreover, this guide also comes in handy when engaging lawmakers to deliver on their campaign promises after being elected which they rarely do, especially in African nations of which Liberia is no exception.
