Launch of the video: 10 Principles of Inclusive Communication

In collaboration with The Expertise Centre Humanitarian Communication (HuCom), our Community of Practice on Inclusive Communication has developed ten guiding principles for ethical, inclusive and equitable communication on international cooperation and humanitarian aid. These principles offer a roadmap for imagining a more just, inclusive and equitable society.
