Welcome to the 3rd week in our Policy Advocacy Lab.
Based on the poll, we will be looking at Educational Inequalities in Zimbabwe as a problem in the Lab. Now our next step is to hear the concerns of those around us(our community) with regards to this problem. We will be sharing a survey that you and your community will help complete as we try to understand how this problem is affecting ordinary citizens. Please share this link within your reach.
Since this process is about understanding and learning the tools used for a PAL, you can limit your community engagement to 10 people in your local area(however ideally as you use this process you will make sure to be as extensive as possible). You can engage them physically or share the link with them. It would be good to outwork this process with a community/group that you regularly engage with as there are some follow-up processes after this stage.
Here is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/FYCLzWnSNxGn9D7q7
