Written submissions to decision makers

Demonstrates influence, number of written submissions such as reports/briefings/letters, produced to influence policy makers and decision makers. Produced by Tearfund, or supporters, allies and partners where our input can be attributed. A policy maker or decision maker is someone who is able to approve and/or implement the public policy or practice change you are seeking to influence.

As your organisation produces and submits papers/ reports/ briefings/letters, note and count them in a spreadsheet or directly on Tearfund’s Track system.

If you want internally to disaggregate this you could into different types of written submissions. But as an indicator it is more useful to count them together.

This indicator is mainly for policy submissions, letters to officials or ministers, etc - not petitions which are counted under simple campaign actions.
