TABLE: ADVOCACY METHODS FOR NGOS
Networking One of the great strengths of NGOs lies in their
strong networking skills. It enables those without
much money to share their voices and exert strength
in numbers.
Conferences Conferences have been a powerful advocacy method
for NGOs, enabling groups to share their voices,
make contacts and influence public policy.
Protests Protests now accompany most world political and
economic forums. Over the past few years,
protesters have targeted almost every forum or
summit calling attention to the undemocratic
decision-making and pressing for change and global
justice.

8 P’S OF SOCIAL MARKETING
 Product
 Price
 Place
 Promotion
 Public
 Partnership
 Policy
 Purse Strings
Can corporate
principles be
replicated at an NGO?
STEPS FOR DESIGNING A SOCIAL MARKETING
CAMPAIGN
 Step 1- Need assessment of consumers
 Step 2- Consumer Research
 Step 3-Audience Segmentation
 Step 4- Social Marketing Mix
 Step 5- Develop and Pre-test ur material
 Step6-Implementation
 Step 7-Evaluation
 Step 8-Feedback
PRODUCT
 The social marketing "product" is not necessarily a
physical offering. A continuum of products exists,
ranging from tangible, physical products (e.g.,
condoms), to services (e.g., medical exams),
practices (e.g., breastfeeding, ORT or eating a heart-
healthy diet) and finally, more intangible ideas (e.g.,
environmental protection). In order to have a viable
product, people must first perceive that they have a
genuine problem, and that the product offering is a
good solution for that problem. The role of research
here is to discover the consumers' perceptions of the
problem and the product, and to determine how
important they feel it is to take action against the
problem.
PRICE
 "Price" refers to what the consumer must do in
order to obtain the social marketing product.
This cost may be monetary, or it may instead
require the consumer to give up intangibles,
such as time or effort, or to risk embarrassment
and disapproval. If the costs outweigh the
benefits for an individual, the perceived value of
the offering will be low and it will be unlikely to
be adopted. However, if the benefits are
perceived as greater than their costs, chances
of trial and adoption of the product is much
greater.
PLACE
 "Place" describes the way that the product reaches the consumer.
For a tangible product, this refers to the distribution system--
including the warehouse, trucks, sales force, retail outlets where it
is sold, or places where it is given out for free. For an intangible
product, place is less clear-cut, but refers to decisions about the
channels through which consumers are reached with information
or training. This may include doctors' offices, shopping malls,
mass media vehicles or in-home demonstrations. Another
element of place is deciding how to ensure accessibility of the
offering and quality of the service delivery. By determining the
activities and habits of the target audience, as well as their
experience and satisfaction with the existing delivery system,
researchers can pinpoint the most ideal means of distribution for
the offering
PROMOTION
 Finally, the last "P" is promotion. Because of
its visibility, this element is often mistakenly
thought of as comprising the whole of social
marketing. However, as can be seen by the
previous discussion, it is only one piece.
Promotion consists of the integrated use of
advertising, public relations, promotions,
media advocacy, personal selling and
entertainment vehicles
PUBLIC
 Social marketers often have many different
audiences that their program has to address
in order to be successful. "Publics" refers to
both the external and internal groups
involved in the program. External publics
include the target audience, secondary
audiences, policymakers, and gatekeepers,
while the internal publics are those who are
involved in some way with either approval or
implementation of the program.
PARTNERSHIP
 Social and health issues are often so
complex that one agency can't make a dent
by itself. You need to team up with other
organizations in the community to really be
effective. You need to figure out which
organizations have similar goals to yours--
not necessarily the same goals--and identify
ways you can work together.
POLICY
 Social marketing programs can do well in
motivating individual behavior change, but
that is difficult to sustain unless the
environment they're in supports that change
for the long run. Often, policy change is
needed, and media advocacy programs can
be an effective complement to a social
marketing program.
PURSE STRINGS
 Most organizations that develop social
marketing programs operate through funds
provided by sources such as foundations,
governmental grants or donations. This adds
another dimension to the strategy
development-namely, where will you get the
money to create your program?
SOME MAJOR NGOs
Self Employed women’s Association (SEWA), Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), New Delhi.
Church’s auxiliary for social Action (CASA), New Delhi
SAHELI, New Delhi.
NIRANTAR, New Delhi
Voluntary Action Network, India (VANI, New Delhi
ANKUR, New Delhi
People’s rural Education Movement (PREM), Mandiapally, Orissa
LOK SHAKTI, Balasore, Orissa
UNNATI, Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centre (SPARC), Bombay
PREPARE, Madras
ASMITA (Resource Centre for Women), Hyderabad
Child In Need Institute (CINI), Calcutta
Their primary purpose is to defend or
promote a specific cause. As opposed to
operational project management, these
organizations typically try to raise
awareness, acceptance and knowledge by
lobbying, press work and activist events.
The Mother NGO scheme was introduced
by the Department of Family Welfare in the
Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002) under
the Reproductive and Child Health
Program. Under this scheme, the
Department of FW identified and
sanctioned grants to selected NGOs called
Mother NGOs (MNGOs) in allocated
district/s. These MNGOs, in turn, issued
grants to smaller NGOs, called Field NGOs
(FNGOs), in the allocated district/s. The
grants were to be used for promoting the
goals/objective as outlined in the
Reproductive and Child Health Programme
of the union government.
The major thrust of the MNGOs and
FNGOs is in the area of advocacy and
awareness generation in respect of the
RCH programme, with due emphasis on
gender, while aiming to augment
institutional capacity at the field levels.
They also play a crucial role in addressing
the gaps in information and counseling.

  • 13. TABLE: ADVOCACY METHODS FOR NGOS Networking One of the great strengths of NGOs lies in their strong networking skills. It enables those without much money to share their voices and exert strength in numbers. Conferences Conferences have been a powerful advocacy method for NGOs, enabling groups to share their voices, make contacts and influence public policy. Protests Protests now accompany most world political and economic forums. Over the past few years, protesters have targeted almost every forum or summit calling attention to the undemocratic decision-making and pressing for change and global justice.

  • 17. What are the fundamental differences between managing an NGO and a company
  • 18. What are the challenges in both, and how do you overcome them?
  • 19. 8 P’S OF SOCIAL MARKETING  Product  Price  Place  Promotion  Public  Partnership  Policy  Purse Strings
  • 21. STEPS FOR DESIGNING A SOCIAL MARKETING CAMPAIGN  Step 1- Need assessment of consumers  Step 2- Consumer Research  Step 3-Audience Segmentation  Step 4- Social Marketing Mix  Step 5- Develop and Pre-test ur material  Step6-Implementation  Step 7-Evaluation  Step 8-Feedback
  • 22. PRODUCT  The social marketing "product" is not necessarily a physical offering. A continuum of products exists, ranging from tangible, physical products (e.g., condoms), to services (e.g., medical exams), practices (e.g., breastfeeding, ORT or eating a heart- healthy diet) and finally, more intangible ideas (e.g., environmental protection). In order to have a viable product, people must first perceive that they have a genuine problem, and that the product offering is a good solution for that problem. The role of research here is to discover the consumers' perceptions of the problem and the product, and to determine how important they feel it is to take action against the problem.
  • 23. PRICE  "Price" refers to what the consumer must do in order to obtain the social marketing product. This cost may be monetary, or it may instead require the consumer to give up intangibles, such as time or effort, or to risk embarrassment and disapproval. If the costs outweigh the benefits for an individual, the perceived value of the offering will be low and it will be unlikely to be adopted. However, if the benefits are perceived as greater than their costs, chances of trial and adoption of the product is much greater.
  • 24. PLACE  "Place" describes the way that the product reaches the consumer. For a tangible product, this refers to the distribution system-- including the warehouse, trucks, sales force, retail outlets where it is sold, or places where it is given out for free. For an intangible product, place is less clear-cut, but refers to decisions about the channels through which consumers are reached with information or training. This may include doctors' offices, shopping malls, mass media vehicles or in-home demonstrations. Another element of place is deciding how to ensure accessibility of the offering and quality of the service delivery. By determining the activities and habits of the target audience, as well as their experience and satisfaction with the existing delivery system, researchers can pinpoint the most ideal means of distribution for the offering
  • 25. PROMOTION  Finally, the last "P" is promotion. Because of its visibility, this element is often mistakenly thought of as comprising the whole of social marketing. However, as can be seen by the previous discussion, it is only one piece. Promotion consists of the integrated use of advertising, public relations, promotions, media advocacy, personal selling and entertainment vehicles
  • 26. PUBLIC  Social marketers often have many different audiences that their program has to address in order to be successful. "Publics" refers to both the external and internal groups involved in the program. External publics include the target audience, secondary audiences, policymakers, and gatekeepers, while the internal publics are those who are involved in some way with either approval or implementation of the program.
  • 27. PARTNERSHIP  Social and health issues are often so complex that one agency can't make a dent by itself. You need to team up with other organizations in the community to really be effective. You need to figure out which organizations have similar goals to yours-- not necessarily the same goals--and identify ways you can work together.
  • 28. POLICY  Social marketing programs can do well in motivating individual behavior change, but that is difficult to sustain unless the environment they're in supports that change for the long run. Often, policy change is needed, and media advocacy programs can be an effective complement to a social marketing program.
  • 29. PURSE STRINGS  Most organizations that develop social marketing programs operate through funds provided by sources such as foundations, governmental grants or donations. This adds another dimension to the strategy development-namely, where will you get the money to create your program?

  • 31. Their primary purpose is to defend or promote a specific cause. As opposed to operational project management, these organizations typically try to raise awareness, acceptance and knowledge by lobbying, press work and activist events.
  • 32. The Mother NGO scheme was introduced by the Department of Family Welfare in the Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002) under the Reproductive and Child Health Program. Under this scheme, the Department of FW identified and sanctioned grants to selected NGOs called Mother NGOs (MNGOs) in allocated district/s. These MNGOs, in turn, issued grants to smaller NGOs, called Field NGOs (FNGOs), in the allocated district/s. The grants were to be used for promoting the goals/objective as outlined in the Reproductive and Child Health Programme of the union government. The major thrust of the MNGOs and FNGOs is in the area of advocacy and awareness generation in respect of the RCH programme, with due emphasis on gender, while aiming to augment institutional capacity at the field levels. They also play a crucial role in addressing the gaps in information and counseling.
