New ACCESS Advocacy Strategy
The ACCESS Co-ordination Group is currently hard at work developing our new advocacy strategy. We will be looking at how we can collaborate international and support our members at a national level on implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 7 - energy access, and on working with the AFDB. We will also be developing a supporting strategy around research, communication, partnership and membership.
We are keen to hear from partners who are working on these issues - contact coordinator@access-coalition.org to discuss how we can work together.
