The international community, including United Nations organizations, has recognized the importance of meeting the information and communication needs of marginalized and vulnerable people. It has understood the role that communication can play in empowering people to influence the decisions that affect their lives. Communication for Development (C4D) is one of the most important ways to expand access to these new opportunities. The document may be useful for national partners, development organizations and civil society organizations, including community-based groups, to support and adopt C4D approaches.
