Advancing Adaptation through Communication for Development

SHARE THIS PAGE:

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), through the Communication for Sustainable Development Initiative (CSDI), has consolidated a framework on ComDev as a CBA approach to climate change. To enrich ComDev for CBA as a technical field and discipline, FAO-CSDI has piloted programs and projects on communication strategies and services. These programmes and projects are being implemented in the rural areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Jamaica (as a focal point for the Caribbean region), Bangladesh and Bolivia. The CSDI project strategy is three-fold, including: a) normative activities; b) field components; c) networking and partnerships. Within this framework, CSDI chose the Third International Workshop on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change, held in Bangladesh in February 2009, as the venue for mainstreaming ComDev into the international climate change adaptation agenda. It was decided, together with the workshop organizers, that a special session on “Advancing Adaptation through Communication for Development” would be held during the event.
