Politik- og kampagneseminaret har til formål at styrke kapaciteten hos Syd-partnerne til at udføre mere effektfulde advocacy- og kampagneaktiviteter, lokalt, regionalt og internationalt. Behovet for at styrke partnernes evne til at indgå i regionalt og internationalt samarbejde er blevet yderligere understreget de seneste to år. AK og partnere har arbejdet på at styrke indsatsen i enkelte organisationer, men formålet med at samle alle partnere til et fem- dages seminar er at skabe en fælles platform for gensidig læring og strategisk planlægning. Seminaret vil også skabe et vigtigt rum for læring for nye partnere, samt give mulighed for at flere udvalgte partnere sammen kan færdiggøre en fælles kampagne for efteråret 2017. Ud over selve seminaret er aktiviteterne og opsamlingen af viden op til og efter seminaret også en afgørende del af partnerskabsaktiviteten i forhold til dokumentation af læring og styrkelsen af kommende fælles indsatser.
