ADVOCACY PLAN WORKSHEET
This worksheet is designed to help you create your advocacy proposal.
Note: This advocacy proposal is inspired by the advocacy of pushcart educator, Efren
Peñaflorida. His advocacy will serve as your guide in writing your own.
Instructions:
1. Write an Advocacy Proposal. Use this advocacy worksheet. The following are the
topics for your interest:
▪ Good governance (political)
▪ Environment (social)
▪ Health and sanitation
▪ Education (socio-cultural)
▪ Livelihood (economics)
▪ Sports (socio-cultural)
2. For the teacher’s expectation, refer to the rubric below.
SECTION I: THE ISSUE
Write down what the issue is that you are facing. Remember to include
only facts. Hypothetically, think about the history of the issue, any
interactions with professionals, etc.

SECTION II: CLARIFY THE ISSUE
Think about the 2 or 3 most important parts of your issue. For example,
“I could not get access to clean and safe potable water when I needed
it” (Health and sanitation), or “There weren’t enough copies of textbooks
for me to use one in a reasonable time”. (Education)
SECTION III: DETERMINE YOUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
What do you want to achieve with your advocacy efforts? For example,
“More copies of books in my barangay high school” or “Accessible clean
and safe potable water in our community”.

SECTION IV: TELL YOUR STORY
Telling your story effectively means organizing your issue. Write down
your experience in at least 100 words.
SECTION V: AUDIENCE
To whom do you want to tell your story? Make sure that your audience
is someone able to assist you with your desired outcome. Include name,
address, phone numbers and e-mail. (Hypothetical only)

Write down your 2 - 3 key messages that will engage your audience.
Key messages should be 25 words only.

State your “ask” – what is the one thing you are asking your audience
to do for you?
