Our followers might be a little biased, but the results aren't much different from our public polling: Far & away, the moral case for aid wins. So why doesn't the moral case translate into aid support? Can that change? Read more: shorturl.at/afEQ6 #DatabyDEL #devcomms

6/ Because in today’s world, the way your story is told can decide how it’s understood, remembered, and funded. 🎥 Let’s raise the bar. Let’s make communication count. #StrategicComms #DevComms #StorytellingMatters #FilmmakingForChange #digitaladvocacy #documentary #C4D #Comms


What does transparent communication look like for an NGO in Uganda?" #Transparency #Accountability #DevComms #reclaimingourfamilies


6/ Recommendations? Drop symbolic gestures and embrace structural accountability. Real anti-racism means critically engaging race, challenging #Whiteness, and empowering diaspora communities as meaningful stakeholders in #DevComms discourse and practice.


A standout moment: Hearing VSLA farmers on air proudly share how composting & water harvesting doubled their yields. A real story of transformation—told by the people living it. 👉 How do you balance local storytelling with broader messaging? #DevComms #StorytellingForImpact


📢 Tips for DevComms professionals: ✔ Test messages locally ✔ Use people-first language ✔ Let stories lead ✔ Prioritize ethics & consent In dev't, words are not just tools—they’re bridges or barriers. #DevComms #MentalHealth #StorytellingForChange #CommunityEngagement

Kudos to @JID_journal editor @sbrazys_ucd and the board, for valuing #WUA's 'unserious' take on a very 'serious' humanitarian issue. More importantly, thanks for championing #DevComms critiques in a field where enthusiasm has seemingly waned amidst the ephemerality of interest.


A practical example of #ImpactInvestment would be a nonprofit that receives funding from a socially responsible investment fund to expand their program providing job training and support services for homeless individuals. #ADIS24 #DevComms #ADISPress


In #DevComms facts and data re better retained when they are communicated through a story.
