"SMART Advocacy has enabled many individuals and groups, from grassroots organizations to global fora, create effective advocacy that fuels progress. It is based on years of experience in developing and carrying out successful advocacy strategies. It is both practical and transformational. The SMART
...
Advocacy approach focuses on what you can achieve in a short time—setting a SMART, near-term objective and determining how best to achieve an “advocacy win.” The approach is designed for a group of like-minded advocates, whether in a small, informal group or in a larger, more formal coalition. The process consists of nine steps divided into three phases. This guide takes you through these steps and provides customizable tools to help you plan concrete, specific actions tailored to your issue and environment. Along the way, you will make essential strategic choices so that, by the end, you will have an evidence-driven strategy and a SMART objective that everyone involved can take forward confidently. Repeating the process to forge a chain of related advocacy wins can lead to policy decisions that achieve your ultimate goal." (Page 2)

de esos equipos y el ejercicio del liderazgo. Sin embargo, es necesario, primero, sentar las bases de la organización, para luego avanzar hacia prácticas más complejas y también necesarias. Cuando nos referimos a sentar las bases de la organización, hablamos de herramientas simples y al alcance de todos que ordenan la información y el saber que circula en la entidad. Los protocolos son las herramientas por excelencia para ello. En esta guía compartimos recomendaciones para establecer protocolos en torno a cinco puntos fundamentales para toda organización: roles: cada persona en el equipo tiene una función que debe ser definida y consensuada; procesos: el trabajo sigue un flujo que debe analizarse y mejorarse cuando sea necesario; estructura: los roles y los procesos se entrelazan en un esquema que hay que explicitar; incorporaciones: cuando el equipo crece, es necesario ordenar el proceso; desvinculaciones: cuando se decide que una persona debe irse del equipo, los procesos ayudan a todos los involucrados a transitar del mejor modo esta etapa."

"There is a growing and urgent threat to the safety of journalists across Europe which constitutes a terminal threat to democracy and urgent action by Council of Europe Member States is required. At the international level, detailed guidance and standards for the protection of journalists have been

developed, based on the binding legal requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights. Member States should now put in place National Action Plans to ensure that these international standards are implemented in practice. The foregoing paragraphs summarize the most urgent action points along with examples of State practice. There is much that Member States can learn from each other, and from countries outside Europe who have taken action to protect the safety of journalists. It is recommended that Member States conduct a thorough review of the threats to journalists’ safety in their countries and engage in genuine partnership with journalists and civil society to remedy these risks. All-encompassing National Action Plans should be drawn up, implemented, and kept under regular review. These Plans must contain ‘SMART’ (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound) action points that respond to the needs on the ground – for example, providing police protection, or supporting evacuation mechanisms for journalists. Underpinning the National Action Plan must be a positive and genuine commitment to the importance of the right to freedom of expression: political leaders and public officials should explicitly recognize that violence against journalists constitutes a threat to democracy, unequivocally condemn violent attacks, and stop denigrating the media. A positive message needs to come from the top that freedom of expression is vital to democracy." (Conclusion and recommendations, page 20)
