The ODI Communications team aims to enhance the impact of ODI's research on development policy and practice, and ODI’s reputation and image through efficient and effective internal and external communication.
It is doing this through:
Increased 'packaging' of materials to combine the best thinking from across ODI. An example of this is our Development Charter for the G-20 in March 2009, which argued for a better deal for poor people in developing countries and was welcomed by policy-makers and development practitioners around the world.
Live web streaming of ODI events to take them worldwide; viewers are now logging in from across the globe.
An emphasis on working with major mediaoutlets, with recent articles appearing in The Financial Times, The Economist, New Statesman, The Observer and The Guardian, and interviews on BBC World, Al Jazeera, CNN, CNBC and more.
New online communications channels to reach audiences outside of the website. A Twitter account offers updates on ODI’s online activities, with Twitter users re-posting links to ODI event streams, blogs and media hits; Facebook is lowering the barriers to interaction, so a wider audience can comment on our work.
Improved staff understanding of each other’s work through internal communications. A staff newsletter – ODEye – and ‘Week in Focus’ internal events.
