Visibility
Visibility
Too often, the work of peacebuilders lacks visibility—including opportunities to amplify their work in both traditional and digital media— making it difficult to reach wider audiences. ALLMEP staff work with members to address this challenge through the following ways:
- Amplification via ALLMEP’s social media channels upon request. (Please note that due to our own capacity, we request at least one week’s notice for promoting events and activities via our digital channels.)
- Direct ALLMEP outreach to media and contacts in the local and international press corps to ensure that our members are included in coverage and sought for comment
- Convening international and local forums—such as roundtables, conferences, or international parliamentary events—where our members work is highlighted Authoring periodic reports and publications that highlight our members’ work and impact
- Commissioning and encouraging research that demonstrates the impact of our members as well as the underlying need for their programs
