Our work

Panos London’s mission is to stimulate informed and inclusive public debate around key development issues in order to foster sustainable and equitable development. Our aim is to ensure that the perspectives of the people whose lives are most affected by development (mainly the poor and marginalised) are included within decision-making.

Our themes

Climate change

One of the major challenges facing people affected by environmental change, campaigners and decision-makers is a lack of information.

Governance

The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the number of people in the world living in extreme poverty by 2015. But questions often surround commitments to fairer policies on debt, aid and trade, and progress towards the goals in many low-income countries is slow.

Public health

Panos London has a 20-year record of innovative communication work in the field of HIV and AIDS. We will continue this work, but also use our insights and experience to address other public health issues.

Information society

We live in a world in which exchanges, flows and consumption of information are central to everything. But many people do not have access to new technologies or essential knowledge.

Human security and migration

Panos London has started working on human security and migration projects which will provide communities with greater opportunities to debate constructively and peacefully the issues that lead to polarisation, racism, violence and extremism.

Communicating research

Our work around communicating research bridges the gaps that prevent important policy-related research findings from reaching wider audiences and influencing policy decisions.

Why communication matters

Communication is at the very heart of development. So why isn’t it on everyone’s agenda? In this section we set out just how vital communication is to long-term, sustainable development.

Our methods

Voice

Panos London ensures that poor and marginalised people have their voices heard.

Dialogue

Exchange of ideas improves decision making and increases accountability.

Media

We work to improve media in developing countries.

ICT

Charles Kabonero (left) and his colleagues had to flee to Uganda after their independent weekly Umuseso newspaper was banned in their native country. Now working in exile in Kampala, Charles and his colleagues started a new newspaper Newsline.

We work to help increase participation, democracy and accountability through ICT.
