Fiona Napier,  as International Advocacy Director, helps to coordinate and facilitate the efforts made by open society network which aim to further OSF�s objectives through policy change.

Some advocacy work is long-term and strategic in nature (e.g. mobilizing more financial support for the global fight against AIDS; promoting an increase in Revenue Transparency), other efforts are necessarily of an ad-hoc nature (e.g. responding to the arrest of a open society network consultant).

Specific activities include:

-Working with colleagues to ensure that each policy reform effort has a comprehensive strategy; clear objectives; good advocacy asks; and identified target audiences;

-Ensuring that our advocacy efforts are well coordinated and, if necessary, prioritized;

-Providing strategic and tactical advice to colleagues working on policy change;

-Engaging-in relation to certain efforts-in direct advocacy with European governments and non-government actors.

The ultimate objective of all these activities is worldwide advancement towards an open society.
