Capability statements


Our capability statements summarise our experience and our impact on some of the world's most pressing development issues. Each statement outlines our approach and showcases the results and insights gained from our diverse range of media and communication projects.

  • COVID-19

    Find out how we have rapidly adapted and responded to the pandemic by producing trusted, accurate and timely health communication and content to mitigate and counter rumour and harmful mis- and disinformation.
  • Health

    We view health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being. Our work focuses on support for people and communities who are most vulnerable because of poverty, gender, disability or living in conflict-affected areas.
  • Nutrition

    Learn more about how our work encourages healthier behaviours and more supportive social norms. Our work helps encourage improvements in child nutrition and more frequent and effective use of health services.
  • Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH)

    Our communication initiatives focus on practices that help reduce risks and improve the health of pregnant women, new mothers, babies and infants.
  • Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)

    From providing basic sexual education, to opening discussion on taboo topics such as sex, modern contraceptive methods, relationships and consent, we break barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights.
  • Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)

    We improve knowledge about water, sanitation and hygiene, and our work addresses deeply entrenched attitudes and norms around hygiene and sanitation behaviours.

  • Accountability

    Explore how our work, and our work with media partners, provides trusted, accurate and balanced information to help people understand their rights and the responsibilities of those in power.
  • Media and electoral cycles

    Through high quality media and communication, we ensure that citizens are well-informed and understand their rights and responsibilities in political processes including elections. Our work enables inclusive public debate that eases tensions, and bridges social and political divides.
  • Addressing violent conflict, fragility and social cohesion

    We have a long-established presence in countries experiencing protracted conflict, fragmented social structures and post-conflict situations. We use mass media, including digital, and outreach to support conflict prevention, conflict resolution and peacebuilding across a range of settings, recognising that the pathway between peaceful, inclusive and cohesive societies, increased fragility and conflict is a complex and fluid one.
