12,920 The Communication Initiative, Understanding CHANGE

The Communication Initiative (The CI). Thanks for joining this social network and subscribing to The Drum Beat and/or The Soul Beat Africa.

• To make further, rapid Development progress we need to better understand how CHANGE happens.
• A range of presentations at the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Summit held in Addis Ababa, February 2016 outlined different strategic and practice understandings of what drives change.
• A selection of summaries of the insights and ideas shared at that event, can be accessed here. A few are highlighted below. Within each summary there are links to the full presentation and video (where available) – for example, the Kumi Naidoo speech that attracted such debate!
• To help advance our understanding of CHANGE in the Development context, peer debate, dialogue and critique are vital. Can we please ask you to review at least a couple of the presentations below and submit questions and comments in advance that review process.
• We will also be discussing these presentations in this community of people who attended or are interested in the knowledge shared at the Summit. There is a link to join if you are not already a participant in that community.
