Communication Strategies

Involving the community - a guide to participatory development communication

This guide is intended for people working in research and development. It introduces participatory development communication concepts, discusses effective two-way communication approaches, and presents a methodology to plan, develop, and evaluate communication strategies to address the following questions:

  • How can researchers and practitioners improve communication with local communities and other stakeholders?
  • How can two-way communication enhance community participation in research and development initiatives and improve the capacity of communities to participate in the management of their natural resources?
  • How can researchers, community members, and development practitioners improve their ability to effectively reach policymakers and promote change?
