Overview of UN Inter-Agency Round Tables on Communication for Development (2009)

The paper provides an overview of the discussions and recommendations from all the ten UN Inter-agency Roundtables held since 1988. It divides the Roundtables into three broad phases and places them within the wider changes in the UN organizational and policy context as well as within the global trends in information and communication.

Discussion Paper on the Monitoring and Evaluation of UN-assisted Communication for Development Programmes: Recommendations for Best Practice Methodologies and Indicators (2009)

This background discussion paper produced for the XIth UN Inter-agency Roundtable explores the key issues surrounding Communication for Development. It provides case studies, best practice methodology and proposes a set of draft indicators to aid the Round table participants to identify and discuss key questions and issues on monitoring and evaluation of C4D

Integrating Communication for Development [C4D] into the Common Country Assessment [CCA] and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework [UNDAF] (2007)

This background discussion paper was produced for the Addis Ababa Round Table follow-up meeting at UNESCO, Paris. The paper demonstrates that integrating C4D processes into the CCA and UNDAF strengthens UN Country Team (UNCT) analysis and adds value to its collective programme response to identified national priorities. It also notes the close alignment between aspects of the existing CCA/UNDAF guidelines and principles of C4D, and identifies possible C4D ‘entry points’, which should be discussed with UNDG as part of a process to ensure explicit incorporation of C4D into subsequent revisions of the guidelines.
