Programme prospectus
The objective of the course is
to provide participants with the information, technology and tools to develop
integrated, comprehensive, communication strategies for irrigation agencies or
for support programmes within irrigation projects. The course introduces
participants to the basic principles of communication, the underlying models of
the communication process, methods of audience analysis and inclusion, campaign
strategies including the development of measurable outcomes and the role of
technology in message dissemination.
Depending on how the course is customized, participants will
learn through developing their own specific communication strategies or
campaign. They will be exposed to a broad range of communication tools including
video and multi-media and visit a major communication programme in irrigation,
for example, the Salt River Project, Arizona.
Target group
Administrators, planners, engineers and
communication specialists who are responsible for developing and maintaining
communication programmes within irrigation agencies
