TAP Network 2020 Membership Engagement Survey

With the launch of the 2020-2022 TAP Network Strategic Plan outlining the broad ambitions for the TAP Network for the next few years, the TAP Network Steering Committee and Secretariat will look to further enhance and strengthen engagement of TAP's diverse and growing membership in TAP's work. This survey will help us take stock of how TAP's Partners and Members envisage engagement with TAP's work, and will help us understand how we can work better with all of you as we take forward this ambitious work together. The survey will ask how you - TAP Partners and Members - would propose that improvements could be made to coordination, advocacy, learning and leadership - all elements that are at the foundation of a thriving and vibrant civil society network. Ultimately, we hope that these insights and the plans and strategies it leads to will help further strengthen our work together, and help ensure long-term sustainability and ownership of TAP’s work by its Partners and Members.

In addition to the perception-based responses requested via this survey, we have included open-ended questions that will provide you with the opportunity to elaborate further on any thoughts or proposals you might have on a range of topics. While these questions are optional for you to respond to, they will be invaluable for us to decide on concrete ideas for the best ways forward related to Membership Engagement, and thus, we would strongly encourage you to fill these out and provide your feedback and proposals!
