Current projects
Relay: Communicating research
Academic research makes a crucial contribution to development but too often findings are kept within the research community. The media can play a part in communicating this knowledge.
Linking southern journalists
The focus of this project is to increase the availability of original, high-quality articles and broadcasts about life in developing countries written by local journalists.
Climate Change Media Partnership
The media has a key role to play in raising awareness about climate change at both global and local levels. The CCMP project is an exciting programme designed to ensure this will happen.
Beyond Consultation
The aim of Beyond Consultation is to involve young Africans in shaping Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS services in three London boroughs in order to help develop more effective services that respond to the needs of the community.
