7 ways to make the most
of your network.
The strength of IANSA is in its participants.
Collectively, the network holds a wealth of knowledge, expertise and
experience. If we are to make progress to achieve our goals, we must
support one another by sharing information and working together. Increasing
interaction between participants will help us create more effective,
coordinated actions that have greater impact. Here are seven ways your
organisation can help IANSA become a stronger global network.
1 Inform
IANSA well in advance of your activities
By informing the Secretariat of your upcoming
meetings, press events, and campaign launches, you give us a
chance to alert other network members and plan ways for us to
bring attention to your work. Send a brief e-mail to coordinator@iansa.org
2 Report
your recent activities to us for the IANSA website
Once your events have taken place,
let us know the results. We can post a report on the
IANSA website, www.iansa.org. The website is a great
way for participants to stay up to date on what colleagues
have been doing, and increase the solidarity across
nations and continents. Submit items directly to communications@iansa.org and
please include photographs and other graphics.
3 Submit
articles for the IANSA newsletter
The IANSA newsletter is distributed
to over 1,000 NGOs, funders, and policymakers worldwide,
and posted on the IANSA website. When the call goes out
for submissions, please respond with a news or feature
article we might include. Please include photographs
or other graphic elements, if possible. Send your submissions
in English, French or Spanish to communications@iansa.org
4 Find out
what is happening in your region
In this pack you will find contact
information for the IANSA Steering Committee representatives
and some other active participants in your region.
Contact them to find out about events in your national
and regional networks or to find those doing similar
work. Send an email to coordinator@iansa.org
5 Join
and make use of the IANSA participants’ list
Have you a question or success you
would like to share with other IANSA members? The participants’ list
is the way to do it. Take advantage of the breadth
of knowledge of advocates from every continent by submitting
your email address to contact@iansa.org
6 Tell
other organisations about IANSA
Help IANSA continue to grow by telling
other organisations about the network. Extra registration
forms are included in this pack for that purpose.
7 Keep
IANSA informed of changes in your contact information
The only way we can stay in contact
with your organisation – and refer other participants
and media to you – is if we have your correct contact
details. When your contact information changes, please
let us know as soon as possible at coordinator@iansa.org
