UPVAN advocates on issues affecting the voluntary sector and the community as well. Meetings, workshops and conferences are organized in which all actors of civil society including media, academia and government participate. Efforts are to sensitize the participants on the issues and bring forth suggestions. The basic purpose of advocacy is to sensitize and build pressure upon the government to develop people oriented mechanisms and accordingly frame policies, to benefit the sector & the community. Support and contribution from other civil society groups are also forthcoming. The issues are studied in detail, documented and shared with other Civil Society organizations, Stakeholders and the relevant authorities for necessary action.
