Ways to use the toolkit This toolkit is intended as a flexible resource for CSOs working at national, regional, and continental levels to promote the right to a nationality. It can be used a comprehensive guide or consulted for specific advocacy tasks Note on context and safety We recognise that civic space, political sensitivity, and advocacy conditions vary across the continent. In some contexts, working on nationality and statelessness may carry legal, political, or personal risk. This toolkit therefore offers guidance that should be adapted to each national and regional context. CSOs are encouraged to assess their operating environment carefully, prioritise safety, and choose advocacy strategies that minimise risk. In restrictive environments, organisations may opt for coalition-based advocacy, quiet diplomacy, or indirect engagement strategies. The central aim is to advance nationality rights while ensuring that activists, communities, and partners remain safe. 6
