Poverty reduction with strategic communication: moving from awareness raising to sustained citizen participation

This document, published by Communication for Governance and Accountability Programme (CommGAP), updates a 2005 review of communication in Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRS) and explores how the use of strategic communications has expanded beyond the PRS and is now being integrated into national development planning and implementation. Specifically, the study looks at Communications in PRS processes in Ghana, Tanzania, Moldova and Nepal, and in Latin America and the Caribbean, providing an analytical framework and lessons on communication policy and practice.
