The Communication Competencies Survey - Round 2


from Susan Zimicki - Co-Director - The CHANGE project 
mailto:szimicki@aed.org 


Communication Competencies: Call For Opinions (ROUND TWO)

Competencies: Communication for development/social change

The CHANGE Project, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Pan American 
Health Organization (PAHO) are working to define a set of core compe-
tencies for practitioners of Communication for Development/Social 
Change. This information will be used to define training/education 
needs and guide other decision-making. The Communication Initiative 
is supporting this process. 

Earlier this year we invited your input to this process through par-
ticipation in a survey. We received 311 responses from people in 58 
countries. It took some time to sort all the different responses into 
common categories. We have now processed the information and identi-
fied the top twelve skills, areas of knowledge and values/attitudes 
mentioned by those who responded to the first call for opinions. 

Now we are asking you to give your opinion about the importance of 
each of these skills, areas of knowledge and values/attitudes by as-
signing each category a rating, from 1 (not important at all) to 10 
(extremely important). 

We are asking you to complete this before the New Year. We will aver-
age the ratings assigned to each category and report the information 
on the Communications Initiative site and at a meeting on competen-
cies that will be held in late January.
