Article: Development as Communication, Understanding The Importance of C4D (Andrea Valdivia)

September 22, 2021

Unlike its other forms, communication for development should not be regarded solely as a communication strategy. With a shift to a more participatory approach, C4D has gained popularity among agents of development, as social institutions are now more concerned about increasing the involvement of communities and civil society. This applies especially well when it comes to communities’ rights, in ways that they acquire a higher role in advocacy, and transmit their needs and concerns in spaces that are created for such purposes.

This article delves deeper into C4D beyond it just being a communication strategy to C4D as a participatory approach and a means of effecting change.

Webinar: On Air Dialogues, Rural voices on the global stage (September 20, 2021)

September 15, 2021

The 2021 UN Food Systems Summit has been called “a People’s Summit.” To amplify the voices of small-scale farmers and other rural people in sub-Saharan Africa, Farm Radio International partnered with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), World Vision Canada, and the Canadian Food Security Policy Group to conduct a series of On Air Dialogues.

These conversations took place in June and July 2021 over the radio and via mobile phones. Their aim was to create a platform for those who are often excluded from global discussions and decision-making that impacts their lives — small-scale farmers and other rural people, in particular women and young people. Small-scale farmers and other rural people are development actors in their own right, with a wealth of experience to share on how to transform food systems to be more equitable, sustainable, and resilient. Their voices are vital to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit.

Join us on September 20th ahead of the UN Food Systems Summit to hear the results of this initiative, as we launch the On Air Dialogues: Listening to Rural People report and share the views expressed by 3,400 small-scale farmers and others in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda about their hopes and needs for the future of food systems.

New Journal Issue: Learning From the past; Impact of Information and Knowledge Management on Individuals and Organizations Over Decades (KM4Dev)

September 8, 2021

A new special issue of the KM4D Journal namely ‘Learning from the past: impact of information and knowledge management on individuals and organizations over decades’ Volume 16, issue 1 has been published.
Many of the contributions in this Issue  include contributions written by the past Director of an organization which has closed, looking back at the political realities of its closure (Caroline Figueres), a development worker who took part in a livestock project in Mozambique, arguing with hindsight that the project demonstrated epistemic injustices (Birgit Boogaard), a framework which aims to support knowledge retention in development organizations, based on research in many United Nations (UN) organizations (Rocio Sanz and John Hovell), two contributions on information and knowledge management practices related to COVID-19 at UNICEF (Nima Fallah and colleagues) and in West Africa for CARE International (Alfred Makavore and Emily Janoch), as well as a case study of a agricultural development project in Mali for young people, in French with an English abstract (Makono Coulibaly).
The issue was inspired by the recent closure of the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), a joint international institution of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and the European Union, after 35 years of existence. Two of the contributions reflect on parts of the organization’s legacy: one case study focuses on knowledge and data management practice while CTA was closing (Mejury Shiri and colleagues) and another provides a detailed analysis of a project, the Ghana Question and Answer Service, which closed some 10 years ago (Joel Sam). The Editorial Team for this issue also reflects on the legacy of CTA in the video  CTA and the culture of learning.
