Guides in this series |
This set of guides is designed to be used both by researchers and by the various interest groups in urban development who may initiate, stimulate and benefit from the research knowledge that they generate.
Outlines who the main interest groups are in local development that is intended to benefit the urban poor, and how these interest groups should be targeted.
Describes in simplified terms the roles of each of these groups in the development process and how communication channels can be improved, trust established and knowledge better shared to promote development partnerships.
Sets out in broad terms the learning and communication context of the urban poor and the strategies available to them through representative organisations and intermediaries to improve their access to development knowledge.
Sets out the specific communication roles of intermediaries in the knowledge transfer and exchange process and how they can be useful and applicable to all interest groups.
Deals with the appropriate choice of media for communication by each of the interest groups.
