The International Year is a 365-day push

Share your journey

Beyond raising awareness about the issue, the Alliance 8.7 team advocates for a new approach: using communications tools to drive change and solve challenges.

The team envisions:

  • Sharing experiences throughout the journey
  • Events and action-based activities that highlight insights, good practices, and lessons learned
  • Knowledge sharing and network building to scale up solutions

2021 Actions contain multitudes, including mini-goals, events, and stories. Check the Latest section to see progress in real time.
