Transnational Advocacy Networks

Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) are groups of individuals and organizations that work across national borders to promote social, political, or environmental causes. They connect diverse actors—such as NGOs, activists, and researchers—to share information, coordinate efforts, and influence policies. By leveraging global communication and collaboration, TANs seek to address issues like human rights, environmental protection, and social justice. Their strength lies in grassroots support and international outreach, enabling them to advocate effectively for change at local, national, and international levels.
