How we work
How we work
We use a number of approaches across a wide range of issues, working with journalists, communities and policy-makers
Issues we work on
Communicating research
Academic research makes a crucial contribution to development but too often findings are kept within the research community. The media can play a part in communicating this knowledge to a wider audience.
Environment
One of the major challenges facing people affected by environmental change, campaigners and decision-makers is a lack of information.
Public health
The ongoing HIV pandemic poses unprecedented challenges for the international community. Enhanced communication has a crucial role to play in prevention, treatment, care and support - as well as reducing stigma and discrimination.
Information society
We live in a world in which exchanges, flows and consumption of information are central to everything. But many people do not have access to new technologies or essential knowledge.
Poverty reduction
The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the number of people in the world living in extreme poverty by 2015. But questions often surround commitments to fairer policies on debt, aid and trade, and progress towards the goals in many low-income countries is slow.
Trade
Trade is one of the most fiercely contested areas of policymaking and affects every aspect of our lives. Yet the extent of public awareness and understanding of the implications of trade policies is still relatively low.
