"TAKING THE 7CYMM AGENDA FORWARD"

In Partnership with the Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit, following on the Stakeholders Meeting and the official Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting Session, a workshop was organized by Yocomm, to allow a continuation of the discussion and to bring to the fore certain thematic and organizational issues, about how to take the 7CYMM agenda forward.

"THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN DEVELOPMENT IN COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES"

The centrepiece of the Commonwealth People’s Forum (CPF) in Kampala, 18-22 November, was a series of twenty interactive workshops run by coalitions of Civil Society Organizations. Attendees at the workshop, who included TV and print journalists, radio producers, communicators and online media specialists from around the Commonwealth, discussed the role of communication in development, shared best practice and discussed ways to build up a unified commonwealth communications strategy to allow the best of communication to impact development and policy. During the first session, Yocomm presented a best practice case study to the delegates. Although the discussion ranged widely, the major themes that emerged from group one were the importance of planning and working together on communications issues at Commonwealth level. It was recommended that YOCOMM be allocated the important role of the building of capacity for those organizations without the skills, knowledge or resources to participate at a Commonwealth level.
