C4D ‘Communication for Development’ Concept

C4D ‘Communication for Development’ Concept

[2004] This discussion paper was prepared by OneWorld based on a review of and reflection on existing knowledge, approaches and trends in communication for development. 

Although the main purpose is to provide inputs into the broader ICT4D conceptual framework of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the paper summarizes on communication for development intended as “people-centred communication, utilizing old and new communication technologies, that promotes and elaborates on peoples own development communication needs and aims”.
