Describes the methodology and results of an evaluation of the POLICY project's popular Advocacy Manual. Tools used include written questionnaires, questionnaire-based interviews, focus group discussions and project records. Questionnaires were developed for different target groups: country managers/resident advisors, trainers, and workshops participants. Questionnaires covered the manual's content, organisation, and language, its application, and outcome and impact. Results are mostly qualitative and are synthesized by the evaluators, and illustrated with excerpts from respondents. The suggestions may be useful to others using POLICY's manual or developing a similar advocacy training resource
