Communication for Development (C4D) makes a difference to human development. C4D prioritizes communication systems and processes that enable people to deliberate and speak out on issues important to their own well-being. Its role in empowerment processes helps distinguish Communication for Development from other forms of communication, for example, corporate and internal communications, and makes it an essential part of programmes aimed at achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other development priorities in an equitable and sustainable manner.Part one of this publication reflects on Communication for Development within United Nations organizations. The publication begins by outlining four interlinked C4D approaches used by United Nations organizations: (i) behaviour change communication; (ii) communication for social change; (iii) communication for advocacy; and (iv) strengthening an enabling media and communications environment. The section shows how C4D helps to reinforce many of the core principles that underpin the common United Nations approach to development at the country level, including adherence to a human rights-based approach, national ownership, gender equality and development effectiveness.
