Within the framework of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming (UNDFF), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and IAMCR's Rural Communication Working Group, in partnership with a series of universities, research centres, development institutions, and communication networks, are promoting the Collaborative Change Communication for Development (CCComDev) initiative that aims at sharing knowledge and increasing learning opportunities and collaboration in the area of communication for rural development.
As part of these efforts, the Rural Communication Services Research Awards, funded by FAO, have been offered annually since 2023. These awards recognize three papers each year that enhance our understanding of Rural Communication Services (RCS), focusing on areas such as agriculture, family farming, natural resource management, climate change adaptation, food security, and disaster risk reduction and management.
