Step­down Training Toolkit on Legislative Engagement

This toolkit provides information and reference materials the National Democratic Institute (NDI) has used in conducting a series of legislative advocacy/engagement workshops in Liberia under its Building Citizen Centered Political Engagement program funded by the Embassy of Sweden (EOS). This toolkit provides reference and support materials, and allows its users to organize similar trainings to assist civil society groups and to lobby and advocate with individual lawmakers and the legislature as a whole on issues of importance to citizens.

Aside from providing resources including PowerPoint presentations and agendas, this toolkit provides step­by­step guidance and suggestions on how to organize workshop logistics, identify and select a facilitator and/or trainer and present information during a workshops that vary in length from one to three days.
