Jorge Lavarreda, President of the Board of the National Center for Economic Research in Guatemala (CIEN) and a former TAP grantee, discusses the communications and advocacy strategies that CIEN used during their study to leverage their results and increase their impact. These strategies eventually led to the revision of the Guatemalan academic school year, ensuring students received school supplies and textbooks at the start of term. Jorge also presents some best practice recommendations regarding advocacy, including identifying champions for your cause and aligning advocacy efforts with current windows of opportunity.
