Communication
for Development (ComDev)
In a highly mediatised world,
ComDev is increasingly important
and relevant across many fields of development. ComDev focuses on
communication processes based on dialogue, participation, inclusivity,
sharing of knowledge and active engagement of the intended groups
in the development activity. Communicative processes are inherently
social, cognitive and cultural, and understanding this is critical.
For instance, ComDev can maximize the impact of development initiatives
that involve the implementation of information systems. Subfields
of ComDev include CfSC which stresses the intended social changes
and C4D, which often utilises new and old media, social media and
mobile technology to create positive change through communication
campaigns.
