Good Practice in Development Communication
DevCom’s publications, surveys and reports provide guidance on effective public engagement, based on latest analysis and case examples. They often focus on specific audiences (e.g. youth), communications channels (e.g. social media) and themes (e.g. Sustainable Development Goals).
The publication Engaging with the Public: 12 lessons from DAC Peer Reviews is a go-to reference for development communicators.
