C4D and Innovation

The last few years have seen a growth in the use of the innovation approach within the C4D sector, often, but not always, linked closely with the use of information, communication and technology (ICTs). New ideas and new concepts can lead to significant improvements in development areas such as health and humanitarian programming. However, there is an increasing focus on ensuring that innovation is not just a top-down, technology focused area.

Our C4D and Innovation section takes a more in-depth look at innovation and considers how Communication for Development (C4D) as an area of development practice is increasingly contributing to ensure innovation approaches are inclusive, appropriate, and allow people and communities to meaningfully participate from the outset.
