"Strengthening capacities in communication for development (C4D) and health communication is critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and other global health and development goals. This chapter presents case studies of recent initiatives undertaken by the United Nations Children´s Fund (UNICEF) to demonstrate how the organization has evolved a multi-prong and multi-level approach to capacity development. The authors review key capacity development concepts and approaches in the literature and analyze UNICEF’s efforts using a capacity development framework developed for the health sector by Crisp, Swerissen and Duckett (2011) to classify the different approaches of capacity development used by UNICEF and understand the measurement areas to assess their progress. The chapter concludes with a reflection on lessons learned from UNICEF’s experience that the authors hope will be of relevance to other institutions and a set of recommendations for policy and practice related to capacity development for C4D and health communication."
