Transforming People and Organizations Since 2003"This IRES 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, and networks for positive social and behavior change in both development and humanitarian contexts. It draws on learnings and concepts from the social, behavioral 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.

Development actors in a country prioritize understanding the food security situation of the population. Analysts conduct various assessments to identify hungry and food insecure populations and determine the underlying causes. These assessments include CFSVAs, EFSA, and market analyses. Advanced technologies like satellite imagery, GIS, and mobile data collection platforms are used to collect, manage, and analyze data. The world food program and its partners are establishing FSMS for continuous monitoring of food security conditions and market prices.
