1. Critically examine a situation that involves various intergovernmental relations and structures.

2. In what contexts do you usually meet stakeholders in your activities (e.g. at meetings, conferences, intergovernmental forums)? Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these contexts as a forum for lobbying.

3. List and analyse barriers you have encountered on projects that appear to arise from communication bottlenecks or lack of alignment between the objectives of different government entities.

4. Examine the kind of shared understanding that could have solved the miscommunication or misalignment.

5. Critically explain for each barrier the appropriate intergovernmental forum in which to raise each issue.

6. Assuming that you are not one of the regular attendees of the forum in question, what action could you take to get your voice heard in the appropriate forum?
