For each day of a Question Campaign, a Daily Question Ad is produced and
distributed. Each ad matches a powerful still image with a question donated by
a member of the public. The impact of these ads is visceral: they connect with
people both mentally and emotionally. We showcase these question ads freely
for others to use.

Ask&Connect
Throughout the campaign members of the public are
asked to donate their questions and connect to others
with similar questions.
A Question Campaign produces hundreds, if not
thousands, of questions. These questions serve as the
basis for supporting our partner to conduct a question
selection process to identify a set of questions it will
focus on and use to more deeply engage the public
with its work. We also offer a public space on our
website for people with common questions to come
together and discuss why those questions are
important to them.
48. Step4ofaQuestionCampaign
Ask&Connect
Connecting People
An important part of every Question Campaign is to connect
people with similar questions together so they can share the
experiences that lead them to their question, discover what is
already known about the question, and plan for action. We create
several forums for these gatherings.
Online – video
conferencing
Open public forums
Closed forums
Audio conferences

Select
Once the question donation process ends, the public
creates a ranked set of top questions to frame
dialogue, knowledge exchange, and action in its work
going forward.
Once top questions are actually selected, eTp supports
its partner to develop an implementation plan for
engaging the public with these questions. It also helps
its partner identify other potential partners who have a
vested interest in the top questions and the capacity to
bring people together to address them.

Engage
The last step of the Question Campaign brings people
together, on the ground and online, to engage in
dialogue, knowledge exchange, and action to address
the top questions.
The Campaign sponsors and Engage the Power use their tools
and network of human resources to help design and implement
these activities, as well as periodically evaluate what difference
these activities make in addressing the top questions, and
discover where improvement is needed to strengthen
performance, learning, innovation, and impact.
