What development communication should do
Development communication should help people understand what changed, why it matters, who is affected, and how partners can act on the evidence. The strongest communication products connect program data with human experience.
The authority-building content stack
Strong programs need a repeatable stack: project pages, evidence notes, stakeholder stories, campaign briefs, photo documentation, event summaries, newsletters, and public-facing reports. Each asset should link to the next most useful page.
What makes a story trustworthy
A trustworthy story uses specific context, clear attribution, measurable results, plain language, and honest limitations. It avoids vague claims and shows the relationship between activities, outcomes, and lived experience.
