Organizations can only speak on behalf of themselves, not representing the whole Alliance. In the focus countries, specific guidelines or other arrangements can be made in cooperation with all partners.

When speaking on behalf of the programme or Alliance, the following guidelines need to be taken into account:

• The Programme Manager is the designated spokesperson to speak on behalf of the programme and Alliance.
• Depending on the topic, the Programme Manager can delegate the spokesperson to Working Group or Country Leads.
• Use one focal point (preferably a press officer) for media/interview requests. Depending on the topic, this can differ per case and thus organization.
