Legislative Assessment and Gap Filling
Legis offers 1-3 day issue-based workshops to assess how the provisions of existing, or pending, legislation affect (or are likely to affect) your group or organization’s interests, and to identify amendments that could improve the law’s likelihood of being effectively implemented and/or that could mitigate the law’s adverse impacts.
Policy Development and Legislative Drafting
During this three-month advanced course, participants develop policy proposals, and draft bills, addressing issues of concern to themselves or their organizations. Participants receive a Certificate in Policy Development and Legislative Drafting upon satisfactory course completion.
Needs Assessment, Prioritization, and Action Planning
Within the broad frame of its organizational mission, every civil society organization must remain responsive to emerging needs. This course teaches participants to conduct a social audit, identify the CSOs unique strengths and resources, and develop a plan that is likely to have a high social impact.
