How can the AP model be scaled up?
By working with others who have a larger footprint, and by successfully promoting the model. Many elements of the AP model were innovative when we introduced them, but are now quite common. For example, we were one of the first to use an online newsletter to strengthen networking and lobby for change (Rome, 1998); to use handicrafts as a tool for human rights advocacy (Bosnia, 2003); to work with the diaspora to promote human rights in the homeland (Nepal, Bosnia); to use blogging in our internship program (2003). The fact that these tools are increasingly used by human rights advocates is an example of our model being scaled up – even though we would not claim a direct cause and effect.
