Communication for another development: listening before telling

This book argues that in the development process, communication is everything.  The authors present the case that communication for development is a creative and innovative way of thinking that can permeate the overall approach to any development initiative.  They illustrate their argument with vivid case studies and tools for the reader, drawing on the stories of individual project leaders who have championed development for communication, and using a range of situations to show the different possibilites in various contexts.  Free from jargon and keeping a close look at  how development is actually being implemented at ground level, this book offers an important contribution to development studies for students, policy-makers and practitioners.
