Communication for Development
Panoslondon (talk) 11:28, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Hi, I haven't edited in wikipedia before apart from adding this term and definition as I was surprised to find it was missing so please forgive me if I haven't followed the correct guidelines and procedures for adding/editing content but I'll try to explain here the rational for what's been done. I've undone the redirect tags as I couldn't find a reason given as to why C4D had been redirected to Development Communication when the C4D definition itself indicated that Development Communication - which focuses more on prescriptive forms of communication in the development context - is encompassed by this term. The term itself also appears in another wikipedia entry World Congress on Communication for Development which I'll now include as a link myself. I was hoping that others would add/amend to this section and that a lively debate over the terms would develop, including over the definition itself, as it's an evolving term and becoming increasingly widespread and more important in international development policies. I do appreciate the guidelines indicate that including your own links to documents and websites is a conflict of interest /self promotion but the Heart of Change paper is being increasingly referenced as a general introduction to the subject in many other publications and so I believe worth linking to.

Panos Institutes
Panoslondon (talk) 11:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)I wasn't clear as to the reason why this section may be deleted so again I removed the threatened deletion until an explanation was given. The Panos Institutes are a legally recognised network of international NGOs.
