COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT (C4D) - ONLINE COURSE

Development (C4D). C4D is an evidence-based process that utilizes a mix of
communication tools, channels and approaches to facilitate participation and
engagement with children, families, communities, networks for positive social
and behaviour change in both development and humanitarian contexts. It draws on
learnings and concepts from the social, behavioural and communication sciences.
Participants will learn about key concepts and approaches in C4D and best
practices in planning, implementing and evaluating participatory and
evidence-based C4D interventions.

This course will introduce participants to the field of Communication for
Development (C4D). C4D is an evidence-based process that utilizes a mix of
communication tools, channels and approaches to facilitate participation and
engagement with children, families, communities, networks for positive social
and behaviour change in both development and humanitarian contexts. It draws on
learnings and concepts from the social, behavioural and communication sciences.

Communication technologies and approaches have evolved rapidly in the past
decade and new opportunities for engaging people in social change processes have
opened up. At the same time, factors such as changing demographics,
globalization, armed conflicts, climate change, disease, pandemics and
epidemics, movements of migrant and refugee populations, and rapid urbanization
have posed new challenges and requirements for innovation in the development
and communication sectors. 

UNICEF’s online C4D course addresses the need for new and enhanced communication
competencies to meet these new challenges and leverage opportunities for
innovation to achieve behavior and social change for children.   

The C4D course was originally designed by UNICEF and Ohio University, a leading
academic institution in the C4D field, to equip UNICEF staff with relevant
knowledge, skills and tools to address socio-cultural determinants of UNICEF
programmes and humanitarian actions through the use of C4D. The course has now
been adapted to this Agora online, self-paced format to make it more
accessible to a wider audience.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The C4D course is designed to help participants:

 * Understand key theories around communication, development, culture, behaviour
   and social change
 * Describe key theories around communication, culture, behaviour and social
   change
 * Define key C4D concepts, principles, approaches, methods and techniques
 * Recall the role of research, design, development, implementation and
   monitoring and evaluation to C4D programming
 * Identify the steps involved in the design and development of effective,
   evidence-based and human rights-based C4D strategies in line with best
   practice.


AUDIENCE

The course is open to everyone. It was designed with the following audiences in
mind: UNICEF partners (including government partners, implementing partners,
consultants and researchers),  C4D practitioners, students, and others with an
interest in or responsibility for the design and implementation of social
and behaviour change communication initiatives. 


METHODOLOGY

The C4D course is self-paced and self-study.  The course follows a MOOC format,
in which you are guided through required readings and videos.  Brief background
text is provided as you navigate through the course to give you context for
these required resources.  You will see suggested and supplemental readings and
videos throughout. While these are not required for this course, you are
encouraged to review them in your own time.    

We suggest that you review each C4D Module and its resources in sequence. Some
of the print materials are lengthy and you may find it easier to download the
content for reading offline.  



DURATION

You can complete the course at your preferred pace. Please plan to allocate
approximately 20-25 hours.
