"This publication focuses on participatory communication and seeks to provide guidance to IFAD staff on developing a participatory communication strategy to strengthen the impact of participatory mapping initiatives. The publication is a follow-up to The IFAD adaptive approach to participatory mapping and has been developed to complement the adaptive approach. While this publication has been developed primarily to support participatory mapping initiatives, we hope that it also can be used as a guide for developing participatory communication strategies in general."
