iDC and Development Communication
iDC – Intermedia Development Consultants – is going to live up more fully to its name. In the years since its founding in 1988, we have put great store on the quality of our research studies, strategic reviews and evaluation reports. A few of our consultants have regularly written articles on development themes, or maintained newspaper columns and one has founded a travel magazine. We have produced occasional videos on humanitarian or development project activities. Now, we have decided to expand and promote a wider range of inter-media services.
With skills in writing, editing, photography, filming, graphic design and training, these are the community development services we are offering:
• Developing project briefs: telling the story of projects – their objectives and strategy, challenges and achievements;
• Tracking the progress of a project by journalists and photographers;
• Writing and illustrating stories of change – the impacts of projects on the lives and livelihoods of beneficiaries;
• Developing policy briefs, focusing on the approach to addressing specific issues in project implementation – for dissemination, particularly, to other agencies engaged in similar work;
• Producing text, photographs and video clips for dissemination through social media;
• Graphic design and editing of project documents and reports;
• Training in writing project proposals and reports, the use of community-based theatre and role plays within community engagement strategies, and the use of imaging techniques in cross-cultural communication.
