Planning for communication development

Synonyms:

Implementing plans for development through information

Implementation:

In the case of UNESCO activities focus on drawing up methods and techniques of communication planning, testing their field application in different environments, and supporting such ventures at national and regional levels. Emphasis is given to the socio-cultural dimension of development. Specific design strategies for development-oriented programmes and campaigns (such as literacy and lifelong education) are considered. Others are devised to reinforce ongoing operational projects, including those concerned with education, environment and cultural development.

In 1998, the Intergovernmental Council of UNESCO's International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC) ended its 18th Session allocating US$2,271,000 to 53 media projects world-wide. The funds are devoted to a wide variety of initiatives aimed to help reduce the gap between industrialised and developing countries in the field of communication and information.

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.

About UIA

The Union of International Associations (UIA) is a research institute and documentation centre, based in Brussels. It was established in 1907, by Henri la Fontaine (Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1913), and Paul Otlet, a founding father of what is now called information science.

Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.
