Communication for Empowerment
The CFSC Consortium, in partnership with the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre’s Elizabeth McCall (now replaced by Sarah Lister), authored the Communication for Empowerment Guidance note. This document is a handy reference for countries struggling with how to best use communication processes in order to engage its citizens in planning for more accountable and transparent governments. The guidance note is being followed by a operation manual produced by CFSC practitioner network member Birgitte Jallov who is also leading the work of piloting these approaches in up to 5 pilot countries. Work has already begun in Mozambique, Madagascar and Laos with two more countries coming onboard early in 2008. Look for more information on Communication for Empowerment in upcoming issues of Mazi.
