           Health Communication

              Pastoralist Communication

               Gender, Environment and Conflict

Panos Eastern Africa seeks to address the information needs of the poor and marginalised, create media visibility of their concerns and inform policy through: 

• Building the capacities of the media and civil society to communicate more meaningfully issues of development and engagement with information and bolstering engagement with the affected communities. 
• Using strategic communication for civil society, ensuring that they use an evidence base in debating critical issues.
• Researching, documenting and communicating.
• Illuminating the voices and issues that are usually left out by the media and thus do not get into the limelight. Marginalised issues and people.
• Supporting and promoting initiatives aimed at ensuring a conducive free and  fair environment that allows for free debate, plurality of opinions and ideas, accountability, and good governance and responsible journalism.
• Promoting awareness about the implications of global decisions on marginalised people and creating space for them to engage those processes that have local and global dimensions.
