Advocacy and media
- Communicating for sustainable development
- Media, no matter how technologically advanced, messages, no matter how skillfully packaged, and information, no matter how relevant, are not enough to bring about meaningful and sustainable development results. These results can only be achieved if the people involved (stakeholders) are part of the process leading to change. This sourcebook intends to make clear the distinction between communication about development operations and results and communication for development operations and results.
