OUR SERVICES
Development Communication Support (DEVCOMMS)
Creating top-notch strategies to nudge folks towards better habits, using effective communication models and social marketing tactics
At the CMC, we acknowledge the centrality of communication to programme success. Our team ensures that crucial information is appropriately produced and disseminated for easy public consumption. DEVCOMM leverages computer-mediated development communication tools to drive public awareness in the region. The service is crafted to empower clients to strategically develop and implement communication strategies that engage diverse stakeholders, capture impactful activities, and disseminate success stories. To achieve this, we tailor content to fit the needs of our clients and utilize our comprehensive distribution network across various platforms, including television, radio, print, and social media, for expansive dissemination. The analysis of traditional and online data is a key component of our development communication approach. Our expertise in analyzing social media data allows us to monitor emerging issues, gauge public opinion, assess the quality of information, and collaborate with online influencers.
