Communication for development encompasses many different media and approaches - folk media and traditional social groupings, rural radio for community development, video and multimedia modules for farmer training, and the Internet for linking researchers, educators, extensionists and producer groups to each other and to global information sources. Whether villages are connected to the outside world through modern telecommunications, learn about health care from folk proverbs and songs or listen to radio broadcasts on better farming practices, the processes are the same - people communicating and learning together.
