Media Outreach
Work with national and regional media in the country/countries where they operate, to provide background briefings and press materials, arrange interviews and organise media conferences, as well as to place op-eds and feature articles.
Partnerships
Create campaigns in partnership with non-governmental organisations and private sector entities to promote key Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ issues.
Engage with the public
Inspire action and engage audiences on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ priority issues by connecting with the public in their local language. Whether on social media, websites, printed information or radio programmes, customized content and translations by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICs provide a local flavour to global issues.
