SUMMARY:Hope is a strategy: Become an advocate for change
DESCRIPTION:Feeling powerless in the face of global issues? Want to make a difference? \n\n\n\n\nCome join the Results Canada community for an engaging evening of hope and solutions. Learn how to speak truth to power and connect with passionate people. Because nothing is more powerful than working together. \nAt Results\, it’s our mission to generate the political will to end extreme poverty and we have trained thousands of people in Canada over the past 40 years to effectively fight for change. Now\, we are coming to Winnipeg this World Tuberculosis Day to fight against TB because disease is a leading factor in trapping people in cycles of poverty.

Canada can and must step up to help end this preventable and curable disease\, but we need to raise our voices and demand action! \nThat’s where you come in. You have the power to make a difference. \nDon’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered. Our experts will teach you how to advocate for change in global health or any issue. Then we’ll take action together right then and there as part of a cross-Canada movement to raise awareness of TB! \nWe’re here to help you advocate for the world YOU want. Come be a part of the action! \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Uniting Sectors for Integrated Nutrition and Holistic Early Childhood Development in Crises
DESCRIPTION:In crises\, children are not just surviving\, they’re experiencing the most critical window for growth\, learning\, and lifelong development. Yet nutrition and ECD actors too often work in silos\, competing for the same limited funding while children face rising humanitarian needs. \nThis Nutrition month\, Moving Minds Alliance and Results Canada invite you to an interactive\, solutions‑focused webinar that flips the script: instead of competing\, we collaborate. Building on commitments made at the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit\, this convening brings together policymakers\, civil society\, donors\, practitioners\, refugee leaders\, and humanitarian actors to strengthen the collective case for integrating nutrition and early childhood development in emergencies. \nJoin them to review progress since N4G\, unpack persistent policy and financing gaps\, and co‑create recommendations that ensure every child\, no matter the crisis\, can access the nutrition and nurturing care they need to survive and thrive. Participants will hear diverse perspectives before joining breakout sessions to shape actionable advocacy and investment priorities that drive meaningful impact for the youngest children in crises. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:A Hunger for Change: A Canadian Call to End Malnutrition
DESCRIPTION:Where you live should not determine whether you live. Join Results Canada for an engaging event on the role of Canada—and people like you—in ending the malnutrition crisis currently threatening the lives of millions of children around the world. Learn\, connect\, and take action to help ensure every child has the nutrition they need to survive and thrive\, no matter where they were born.\n\n\n\nCanada’s leadership in global nutrition has never been more critical.

Do not miss this opportunity to connect with others fighting for a better world\, learn from a unique panel session with local and national specialists in the field\, and take concrete action to urge Canada to continue to step up for global nutrition. \nThe panel will include: \n\nJet Takaoka from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank\nAnne Gardner from the Grandmothers’ Advocacy Network\nGabriel Cassie from Results Canada\n\nSpots are limited: register now and take a step closer to a better world. \nResults Canada is a non-partisan advocacy organization that mobilizes everyday Canadians to generate the political will to end extreme poverty. \nFor more information\, contact us at action@resultscanada.ca. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Join us for the #LeadOnTB advocacy day on Parliament Hill!
DESCRIPTION:While Canada has been a champion for tuberculosis (TB) elimination efforts through sustained investments in The Global Fund to Fight AIDS\, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Stop TB Partnership’s TB REACH initiative\, we are falling short on both global and national commitments. \nCanada has failed to meet its fair share contribution to research and development for TB every year since the UN targets were set in 2018\, and domestic investments are insufficient to end TB within our borders\, which disproportionately affects Indigenous and newcomer populations. However\, there are many opportunities this year for Canada to be a leader in the quest to eliminate TB – the world’s deadliest infectious disease – at home and abroad! We just need the political will to make it happen. And we need YOU! \nTB advocacy day \nPartners In Health\, Results Canada\, Stop TB Canada\, Médecins Sans Frontières\, TBPeople Canada\, and TBFighters are organizing a TB advocacy day on Parliament Hill on September 25 to call on Canada to #LeadOnTB! Essentially it’s a day where passionate advocates descend on Ottawa to raise awareness of TB among our decision-makers and call on them to take action to help end this treatable and preventable disease. To get a sense of the experience\, watch TBFighters’ video on the TB Hill Day that happened this April in Washington\, DC. \nThere’s no prior experience required to participate – we will provide all the training! Please note that we will try to match you with your own Member of Parliament (MP) where possible\, but cannot guarantee that you will meet with any particular parliamentarian. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:From Evidence to Impact: Fundamentals of Global Health Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:COURSE FORMAT\nOnline or in-person. Enrollees will need to pick which section of the course to attend:\n-Online: May 21 & 22 9:00am-3:00pm (Montreal time). The online course will be recorded and available until July 1\, 2024.\n-In-person: May 23 & 24 9:00am-3:00pm (Montreal time). The in-person course will not be recorded.  \nDESCRIPTION\nAdvocacy has a crucial role to play in shaping priorities and policies in global health\, yet figuring out how to get started in advocacy can be daunting. Through a combination of lectures\, interactive activities\, case studies and guest speakers\, participants will leave this course inspired by the potential of advocacy for positive change and confident in their ability to incorporate it into their own work. Focusing on both the theory and practical steps behind effective advocacy\, this course is relevant for both global and Canadian audiences as well as those brand-new to advocacy or those who want to build on their existing skills. \nCOURSE DIRECTOR\nLeigh Raithby\nPolicy and Advocacy Officer\, Results Canada and Stop TB Canada \nCOURSE FACULTY\nTaryn Russell\, Deputy Executive Director\, Results Canada\nEkatha Ann John\, Global Health Policy and Advocacy Manager\, Results Canada\nDominique Denoncourt\, Policy and Advocacy Officer\, Results Canada\nFaculty are still being confirmed and there may be changes to the above list. \nCONTENT\nAdvocacy is democracy in action – it can play a powerful role in influencing and shaping priorities and policies in global health. An effective advocacy campaign consists of several strategic components\, that together\, can effect change at national\, regional\, and international levels. In this session\, participants will learn to identify opportunities for policy change in different contexts\, and the tools to influence decision-making to bring about specific changes in global health. This will include an overview of advocacy\, key components to build high-impact campaigns in different settings\, working collaboratively with multiple stakeholders\, ways to communicate effectively with target audiences\, engaging parliamentarians and policymakers\, and campaigning through digital advocacy. The session will include relevant experts from different country contexts sharing their experiences advocating for healthy lives and human dignity for everyone\, everywhere. \nWe will utilize case studies that are global in nature and have guest speakers from a variety of countries so participants can be inspired about how they may apply advocacy in their own contexts and have a good understanding of the breadth of advocacy work that is happening around the world. \nOBJECTIVES\n– To foster a nuanced understanding of advocacy\, decision-making processes\, and translating evidence-based knowledge into policy action in global health\n– To equip participants with the ability to develop a step-by-step advocacy strategy – from developing an “ask” to identifying appropriate targets\, tactics and allies and measuring impact.\n– To explore and share different strategies\, tactics\, challenges and barriers to influence decision making in global health.\n– To encourage participants to apply advocacy using an anti-oppression and equity lens to their areas of work. \nTARGET AUDIENCE\n– Public health graduate students and faculty with an interest in global health advocacy\n– Health researchers and practitioners\n– Policymakers\, administrators\, and policy advisors\n– Community advocates and civil society
