Communications and Media Advocacy

We work with partners to plan and execute high impact communications and media campaigns to build support for public health policy change.

The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) recognizes that successful policy change relies on strategic communication with all key stakeholders and the public. Our team knows how to create media environments that advance public health policies and enable sustained changes in behavior.

In addition to developing custom communications strategies and media engagement plans, we strengthen the capacity of journalists to report on public health policy where limited resources result in stories about public health getting overlooked.

We help advocates develop and execute media strategies to build support for public health policies through:

Assessment and Planning

Our multi-disciplinary team uses strategic media advocacy planning workshops to assess the current media landscape and find opportunities for public engagement.

Strategy Development

We use outcomes from the in-depth planning process to develop earned, paid, and social media strategies to build public and political support.

Plan Execution

Our team helps develop messaging and press materials to reach target audiences. We also strengthen the capacity of the media and journalists to report on public health priorities.

Ongoing Support

We provide on-the-ground communications support, allowing for rapid responses to crises and opposition attacks.
