C4D and Faith

Communication through the language of faith is a key approach, particularly as many societies have very strong religious traditions. In this topical section, we show the range of resources and projects in this area that have been highlighted on the network and would welcome further contributions. Here you will also find information about initiatives around communication for development and faith-based partnerships such as the latest UNICEF ‘Faith for Social and Behaviour Change’ Initiative.
