Public
Awareness Lecture Series (PALS)
To date, over 30 sessions
of our PALS have been organized in over 6 States of the Nigerian
Federation (to wit: Lagos, Imo, Kaduna, Kwara, Kano and Enugu)
and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Commutatively, over
20,000 people have benefited from these sessions (the PALS
sessions are usually held in public places such as market
squares, school halls, bus terminus, etc.)

Thematic drama presentations,
relevant to the theme of a particular session of the PALS,
usually forms an integral component of each PALS session.
Conscious of the fact that the vast majority of the Nigerian
population reside in rural areas, the bulk of PADDI PALS have
been organized in remote rural communities.
Advocacy
Legislative and Media Advocacy
activities are routinely incorporated into PADDI activities.
Our efforts at Legislative Advocacy to ensure conducive policy
atmosphere for the attainment of our enshrined organizational
goals is a continuing vocation.
PADDI has over the years cultivated
sufficient media relations to elicit in-depth and analytical
understanding of our core issues by the members of the Media.
Litigation
PADDI is presently embarking
on 'public interest litigation, wherein we seek intervention
of judicial authorities to perceive errors in the promotion
and protection of human and health rights. These court actions
will not neccessarily be adversarial, but will ultimately
seek societal advancement via judicial interpretations of
existing legislations.
Publications
PADDI has produced several
Information and Educational Campaign (IEC) materials on our
core program areas. PADDI also publishes a quarterly health-focused
mini-magazine, EBIT-Every Breadth I Take. These stickers,
mini-magazine and other publications of PADDI are distributed
free-of-charge to the largely indegent populations in our
rural areas.
