PGMA and DevCom

President GMA should really really study Development Communication.

While reading my DevC 208 module (Social Marketing and Social Mobilization) I came across these three trends and definitions of development. Allow me to share:

(copied verbatim)
1. Development must be PEOPLE-CENTERED - The aim of development must be the improvement of the quality of life of human beings, not improvements in economic production.

2. Development must be PARTICIPATORY - In order to realize development, concerted efforts from the government and the grassroots are needed.

3. Development must be SUSTAINABLE - True development doesn’t sacrifice tomorrow’s resources for the sake of today’s needs.
