Civic participation: Communication

FHI 360 marshals civic participation through its communication and social marketing expertise.

As part of the C-Change Democracia Activa Peru program, FHI 360 experts worked with local partners before national elections in 2011 to increase Peruvians' trust in democratic participation. We organized candidate debates and developed initiatives that attracted more than 20,000 Peruvians to seminars, festivals and recreational activities focusing on elections, voter education and political participation.

The Nicaragua Media Program has been working with independent media organizations (through a grant) to help these groups design programs in broadcast media, print journalism and other communication media, using state-of-the-art interactive approaches to improve civic engagement and support democracy, governance, economic growth, health, education and the environment across the country.
