The main goal of the WCCD was to position and promote the field of Communication for Development in the overall agenda of development and international cooperation. Toward this end, three types of stakeholders, who rarely interact, gathered in Rome: academics, practitioners, and policy and decision makers. The interaction and exchange of perspectives among these three groups served to enhance the overall understanding of the field of Communication for Development by a broader audience.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACTIVE PARTICIPANTSBEHAVIORSBEST PRACTICESBODY OF KNOWLEDGEBOUNDARIESBROADCASTBROADCASTINGBROADCASTSCAPACITY BUILDINGCHANGE IN BEHAVIORCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCOLLABORATIONCOLLABORATIVE LEARNINGCOMMUNICATION ACTIVITIESCOMMUNICATION CAMPAIGNSCOMMUNICATION SCIENCECOMMUNICATION STRATEGIESCOMMUNICATION STRATEGYCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATORSCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY ACTIONCOMMUNITY MEMBERSCOMMUNITY OF PRACTICECONDOMSCOPYRIGHTCORE GROUPDATA COLLECTIONDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKERSDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKINGDELIVERY SYSTEMSDEMOCRACYDIGITAL AGEDISABILITIESDISCUSSIONDISCUSSIONSE-MAILECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEDUTAINMENTENABLING ENVIRONMENTEXPLORATIONFAMILIESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INVESTMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTGAY MENGENERAL PUBLICGLOBAL COMMUNICATIONGLOBAL COMMUNICATIONSGLOBALIZATIONGOOD PRACTICEGRAPHICSHARM REDUCTIONHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE WORKERSHEALTH PLANNINGHEALTH PROMOTIONHOLISTIC APPROACHHOMOSEXUALITYICTIDEAIDEASILLUSTRATIONIMAGEIMMUNIZATIONIMPACT ASSESSMENTSINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFLUENZAINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONINFORMATION POLICYINFORMATION SERVICESINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIESINNOVATIONSINSTITUTIONAL SUPPORTINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERVENTIONKNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENTLATIN AMERICANLEADINGLEARNINGLICENSESMANUFACTURINGMARKET PRICESMASS COMMUNICATIONMATERIALMEDIAMIDDLE EASTMOBILE PHONESMULTIMEDIANATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNORTH AFRICANUTRITIONORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREPARTICIPATORY APPROACHPATIENTSPDFPHONESPOLIOPOLITICAL AGENDASPOLITICAL WILLPRACTITIONERSPREGNANCYPROFESSIONAL STAFFPROGRAMMINGPROGRAMSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC HEALTHQUERIESRADIORESULTRESULTSRURAL RADIOSCIENTISTSSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL MARKETINGSOCIAL PROCESSTARGETSTECHNICAL OFFICERTECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTTELEPHONETELEVISIONTHINKINGTRAINING COURSESTRAINING INITIATIVESTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYUSESVACCINATIONVARIETYVIDEOSVIRUSWEBWEB SITESWORKERSYOUTH CLUBSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7137-4
