First Communication Training

We organized our first communication training on October 30, 2023 as a side event of the GDN Global Development Conference 2023 in Quito, Ecuador. Six researchers from different LMICs learnt to communicate their research more effectively and more widely.  They had the chance to participate in four modules, mixing theory and practice, and led by international experts and the GlobalDev team: Storytelling, Creating visuals and infographics, using social media and public speaking. 

Researchers also had the chance to exchange with Shanta Davarajan, professor at Georgetown University and former chief economist of the Middle East and North Africa, Africa, and South Asia regions and the Human Development Network. Shanta, who has extensive experience in writing blogs, gave participants advice on writing and making their voice heard by policymakers.
