Projects and Issues - Our work
We listen to the communities we work with; our partners are always at the centre of our activities. Our participatory approach allows us to constantly break new ground with our projects, and as these evolve the issues that we and our partners engage with also develop.
We've put children at the centre of decision making for HIV and AIDS information resources, supported over 360 advocacy and human-rights groups in Africa and Asia, and built the capacity of innovative community theatre groups in Latin America.
By directly engaging with communities, we ensure that our partners' health messages reach their intended audience, from grass-roots communication, to national health strategies tackling HIV and AIDS, to engaging with governments in the North and South.
HIV and AIDS
Effective communication is essential to prevent HIV, to ensure people can access anti-retro viral treatment, to challenge the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS.
Disability and inclusion
Disabled people have few opportunities to influence decisions on the policies and services that affect them. As a result, their rights and needs remain unrecognised. We work closely with disabled people's organisations to provide access to information.
ICT and development
Promoting good health, preventing illness and communicating about health issues are important aspects of effective health care. Increasingly, health communication is moving from a simple one-way delivery of messages to a more interactive dialogue...
Malaria and TB
Malaria and TB remain two of the world's primary killers, causing up to 4 million fatalities per year. We play a role in the provision of information, essential if occurrences of both malaria and TB are to be significantly reduced.
Advocacy
Advocacy is increasingly being used by international development agencies. Such a rights based approach offers a chance for significant positive change in relations between development agencies, governments, and civil societies.
Community health
Working with communities to help them support health initiatives with a range of communication activities
