IFLA Regional Advocacy Priorities Survey 2025

IFLA's Regional Council and Regional Division Committees are working to support effective advocacy for libraries around the world. Doing this most effectively relies on having a strong sense of what is needed and what makes a difference.

Following our first regional advocacy priorities survey in 2021, and the second edition in 2023, we are now launching the 2025 edition, in order to give the incoming 2025-2027 mandate of the Committees insights to plan their own work. To do this, we need to hear from you.

Where does library advocacy in your country focus, and how active is it?

Let us know by filling in this survey. As a thank you, we will give away some goodies. To win exciting rewards, you can enter into the raffle at the end of this survey.

You are not obliged to share any personal data, and any data shared will be processed in line with IFLA's Data Protection Policy. 

Deadline: 9 June
