Editor's Notes
- #4: Following up to several UNRT recommendations of strengthening Communication for Development capacity within countries and organizations, FAO launched in 2012 the ‘Collaborative Change Communication’ initiative to increase learning and networking opportunities for rural development and communication practitioners worldwide. A web-based platform (www.cccomdev.org) facilitates the exchange of experiences, methodologies and learning resources for the creation of a global community of practice in communication for sustainable rural development. In close collaboration with the College of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños, FAO developed a ‘Communication for Rural Development Sourcebook’ that provides communication practitioners, development professionals and field workers with a comprehensive set of guidelines, illustrative experiences and learning tools to apply communication in agriculture and rural development initiatives. The sourcebook also includes a practical guide for planning and delivering effective ComDev training. FAO ComDev team also developed a set of ‘Communication for Rural Development Guidelines for Planning and Project Formulation’ to orient managers on how to concretely include communication in project planning for increased effectiveness and sustainability.
