Abstract:
This is a report on the Sub-regional Workshop on Population Communication Planning with special reference to broadcast media, conducted from 1/9/78-1/18/78 and organized by the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development in collaboration with the UNESCO Regional Population Communication Unit and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Sri Lanka. The objectives of the workshop were to share experiences in promoting the small family size norm by the countries in the sub-region and to formulate the effective role of media, especially broadcasting, in achieving this goal through systematic communication planning. The specific objectives were: 1) to examine the ways in which communication systems can support national family planning/population programs; 2) to plan for the most effective use of communication resources and systems, especially broadcasting, for the promotion of family planning programs; 3) to discuss critical issues of development, communication, planning, and evaluation; and 4) to formulate an integrated plan through which population communication could be effectively integrated with other development programs/projects. Participants included population communicators, broadcasters and those in the field of labor and telecommunications. The report lists names and addresses of resource personnel and participants and describes in brief the program of the workshop.
