This important two-day event for policy-makers, communications practitioners, academics and media will establish how strategic communications can be incorporated into policy at an early stage and how to win the critical battle for ‘hearts and minds’. Panel discussions to include:
- Strategic Communications – what has it got to do with stabilisation in countries emerging from conflict and why don’t we do it well?

- A ‘view from the field’, a practitioner’s perspective, contributions from the UNAMA, AMISOM, UNRWA, MOD and an NGO.
