The events can range from discreet meetings with decision-makers (e.g. a roundtable on a given topic) to the mass mobilisation of the public to influence a political stance (e.g. a public protest).
ToC pathway	ToC pathway 4 – Promotion of rights.

Key actors: Actors in these multi-stakeholder dialogues include national governments, cities, UN organisations, NGOs, civil society organisations, the private sector and more. With their participation in the discussion, more effective and inclusive policies will be developed, and action taken.

What do we count?	Tdh count events.
How to calculate the indicator's value	This is the sum of all public actions / events organized by Tdh or in which Tdh has actively contributed, recorded over the year from 1^st of January to 31^st of December.
Data sources	Activity report, Project data, campaign reports.
Data collection methods and tools	Ongoing collection according to the organisation / participation of the events. Use Advocacy tracker to share updates on your events!
Disaggregation	This indicator is to be collected at national, regional, and global. Please, disaggregate by geographical scope: local, national, regional, global.

An advocacy action where Tdh has no role in coordination/organisation/presentation is only considered as a participant should not be counted.
Advocacy actions that are not dealing with migration / displacement issues should not be counted.
Make sure to use the advocacy tracker on a regular basis to not miss any event at the end of the year.
In addition to reporting on the number of events, take care to provide qualitative information on the participants, the key topics discussed, any immediate outcomes, etc.
