Synopsis (short abstract) Communication is a key to promoting sustainable development. Communication for Development or ComDev, an approach applied by FAO that combines a variety of participatory communication processes and tools, ranging from rural radio to the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), is central to this task. Several FAO projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America have successfully incorporated ComDev systems and components to support environmental and development programmes in rural areas. FAO and the Italian Ministry of Environment and Territory have agreed to a joint initiative named Communication for Sustainable Development Initiative (CSDI) to strengthen national efforts in the applications of ComDev approaches and strategies to sustainable development policies and programmes, as well as to food security and rural livelihoods. Special attention is given to the application of ComDev activities and initiatives to climate change adaptation in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors and in sustainable natural resources management. Within this framework, CSDI fielded two missions in Bangladesh to support FAO Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change (LACC) project, which is currently in its second phase. Particularly, two consultants in Communication and in ICT for Development and Environment visited LACC stakeholders at both national and local levels. This was done to systematize lessons learned on the role of communication within project activities as well as to desi gn a proposal for an ad hoc ComDev and ICT component for the next phase of the Project.
