English term or phrase: Advocacy / Advocate
¿traduciríais estos términos como **incidencia**? Yo lo he traducido como propugnar y como apoyo pero el cliente me pide que lo cambie por incidencia, etc. Veo en internet ejemplos de **incidencia política** pero sigo preguntándome si es lo más apropiado en los siguientes contextos.

to develop European positions and strategy for lobbying and media work; and to undertake initial scoping work of International NGO (INGO) aid effectiveness, both to practice what we preach and to identify potential lessons to inform our advocacy

The session then moved into a broader debate on current concepts of debt sustainability, examining their advantages and disadvantages and whether it makes sense to advocate for a conceptual change, away from 100% debt cancellation

The workshop explored the experiences in different countries in dealing with illegitimate debt in our campaigning and advocacy, as well as debate how we could start a more coordinated campaign on the subject throughout Europe and internationally

This included examining the relationship between advocacy and mobilisation at both national and international level; the role of technical expertise; and the relationship between advocacy and more long term socio- political processes.

activities include submitting freedom of information requests for different policy documents and policy related records, outreach, coordinated advocacy, capacity strengthening, and thematic work on parliamentarians, anti-corruption, debt, PSIA and extractives. GTI also has a small grants scheme for other organisations for carrying out audits, case studies, advocacy events and translations.
