Question:
Hi, This is me again and again ... :)

I have no question at this time, yet have a request to ask for to assist me by providing an outline to prepare a toolkit for monitoring as well as advocacy as soon as possible. Thanks.

Sincerely Yours,

Lito Gama
Answer:

Dear Lito,
I was not sure if you were asking for my help, but I will offer some assistance anyway. :-)
All the Toolkits on CTB are for you to use, copy, modify, and translate to meet your own needs.  This is what we love seeing people do with the resources collected here!
Your inquiry lacks specific details, so I will direct you to some general areas that I think will be valuable to you. As for monitoring (which I might call sustainability and/or evaluation) and advocacy, I would refer you to these specific toolkits under "Learn a Skill" -> "Toolkits":
https://ctb.ku.edu/en/sustaining-work-or-initiative and/or https://ctb.ku.edu/en/evaluating-initiative
Also under "Learn a Skill" -> "Table of Contents". There you will find four chapters (36 - 39) and a related Toolkit (12) that will introduce you to the basics of Monitoring and Evaluation. (M&E).
https://ctb.ku.edu/en/advocating-change
Also under "Learn a Skill" -> "Table of Contents". There you will find four chapters (30 - 35) that will introduce you to the basics of Advocacy.
Each of these provides an outline for suggested actions to accomplish specific goals, as well as examples to see how they were implemented in the real world. These should be helpful.
Another valuable resource is to look under "HELP TAKING ACTION" -> "Ask an Advisor" -> "BROWSE PAST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS". There you might search for some of the terms you are interested in and see what the past answer to questions and situation perhaps similar to yours. Just click on the question itself to see the past answer.
I hope this is a helpful start to your project!
Best regards,
