Community participation and representation in the design and delivery of on-ground programs guarantees their relevance to local needs, encourages local ownership, and leverages local knowledge. This approach not only enhances effectiveness and engagement but also promotes sustainability in the long term.
Communication technologies have the potential to be participatory, inclusive and help provide safe spaces for ‘driving conversations’ & generating ‘community voices’ even for small and remote organisations. It also enables instant and efficient communication, making it easier to share information and collaborate across distances. These technologies can help non-profits operate more effectively, reach broader audiences, engage supporters, and achieve their missions with greater impact and efficiency.
