"Development theory and practice are often taught in a manner that strips them of their historical context and obscures alternative intellectual assumptions and critical frameworks. This prevents students from acquiring a holistic understanding of the world and consequently, when it comes to development practice, most lack the skills to live and engage with people. It has become crucial to properly consider what it means to conceive and implement participatory development out in the field and not just in the boardroom. Building on the work of Robert Chambers and Arturo Escobar, Communicating Development with Communities is an empirically grounded critical reflection on how the development industry defines, imagines and constructs development at the implementation level. Unpacking the dominant syntax in the theory and practice of development, the book advocates a move towards relational and indigenous models of living that celebrate local ontologies, spirituality, economies of solidarity and community-ness. It investigates how subaltern voices are produced and appropriated, and how well-meaning experts can easily become oppressors. The book propounds a pedagogy of listening as a pathway that offers a space for interest groups to collaboratively curate meaningful development with and alongside communities. This is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the fields of Development Studies, Communication for Development, Communication for Social Change, Social Anthropology, Economic Development and Public Policy.

Draws on postmodernist feminist analysis, especially the questions of knowledge production about women & the patriarchal character of Western scientific thought, to analyze the production of knowledge about Third World women by development experts & the consequences of this knowledge for theory & practice. It is shown that, as development debates have progressed, Western development experts & agencies have launched a search for local knowledge of indigenous peoples that inevitably translates this knowledge into the language of Western science & modernization theory, thus ignoring the local experience & knowledge of indigenous groups. Examples of projects that attempt to move beyond modernization theory to incorporate the different voices & knowledges of the South are presented, & the problems they have encountered are discussed. Although dilemmas in adopting this new perspective are acknowledged, it is argued that development planners & practitioners must abandon their steadfast belief in technical expertise & adopt a more inclusive approach to knowledge production.

Information communication technologies (ICTs) are crucial to reducing poverty, improving access to health and education services andcreating new sources of income and employment for the poor. Being able to access and use ICTs has become a major factor in driving competitiveness, economic growth and social development. In the last decade, ICTs, particularly mobile phones, have also opened up new channels for the free flow of ideas and opinions, thereby promoting democracy and human rights.The OECD and infoDev joined forces at a workshop on 10-11 September 2009 to examine some of the main challenges in reducing the discrepancies in access to ICTs and use of ICTs between developing countries. The workshop discussed best practices for more coherent and collaborative approaches in support of poverty reduction and meeting the Millennium Development Goals.There is much work to be done on improving policy coherence and there is a need to engage more actively with partner countries. Making the most of ICTs requires that they are seen as part of innovation for development, rather than just another development tool.This publication examines access to ICTs, as a precondition to their use, broadband Internet access and governments` role in making it available, developments in mobile payments, ICT security issues, ICTs for improving environmental performance, and the relative priority of ICTs in education.For more informationThe OECD/infoDev workshop on ICTs for Development: www.oecd.org/ICT/4DOECD work on Policy Coherence for Development: www.oecd.org/development/policycoherenceinfoDev: www.infoDev.org
