People, Politics and Change: Building Communication Capacity for Governance Reform is an applied facilitator’s guide for reform managers, change agents, development practitioners, and training professionals who need to use smart communication techniques - the relevant concepts, frameworks and applications - to promote change through governance reform. It is grounded on the expert knowledge and practical research from academics and scholars and practitioners in the field, culled and enriched from CommGAP’s series of global dialogue on key governance issues.

Here is a storehouse of knowledge aimed at addressing the major communication challenges in governance reform and advancing CommGAP’s strategic focus in promoting positive, accountable governance in terms of development policy and practice. One of its goals is capacity building and disseminating innovative communication approaches and techniques to strengthen the various components of the public sphere - engaged citizens, a vibrant civil society, pluralistic and independent media, and transparent government institutions - to bring about positive outcomes through the sphere of government reform.
