Synopsis (short abstract) The first World Congress on Communication for Development was held 25-27 October 2006 at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy. It was organized by the World Bank, FAO, and The Communication Initiative. In the run-up to the Congress, a series of regional meetings with a specific focus on sustainable development fed into the discussions and debates. In addition to about 200 journalists and representatives of media outlets, the Congress attracted mo re than 900 participants from all over the world. They attended workshops and special events on three broad themes: communication for health, governance, and sustainable development, as well as an additional cross-cutting theme labeled “Communication Labs.” The participants brought a wealth of knowledge and experience, which they shared in a series of plenaries and two televised debates.

    The manual on how to design and implement a national communication development policy is a result of the work undertaken by participants of regional workshop held in Niamey, Niger in April 2002. The manual is based on experiences from 1992 when FAO was asked by Government of Mali to assist in designing a communication development policy. The division in charge of communication for development at the time created a methodological approach which made it possible for national consultants to sum up the status of communication for development; to organize a national workshop to validate the results of the studies and design the mission, objectives and plans for implementing a national communication for development policy.
