Nominations are sought for UNESCO-IPDC Prize for Rural Communication
09-07-2009 (Paris)

UNESCO has launched a call for nominations for the 2009 UNESCO-IPDC  
Prize for Rural Communication. Potential submitters are invited to  
propose nominations in consultation with the National Commissions for  
UNESCO or with relevant non-governmental organizations maintaining  
consultative relations with UNESCO. The deadline for submitting  
nominations is 30 October 2009.

Established in 1985, the UNESCO-IPDC Prize for Rural Communication  
aims to reward a pioneering activity which contributes to improving  
communication in rural communities, in particular in developing  
countries. Awarded on a biennial basis, it consists of a sum of US$  
20,000 and a diploma.

The last recipient of the Prize was the Indian daily newspaper  
Malayala Manorama, which was selected for its imaginative  
communication campaign aimed at raising awareness among the people of  
Kerala on the importance of water conservation as a solution to the  
problem of droughts in the region.

The Prize will be awarded for the eleventh time during the 27th  
session of the Intergovernmental Council of the International  
Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC), which will take  
place at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris from 24 to 26 March 2010.

Nominations should include a description of the candidate's background  
and achievements, a summary of the work, publications and other  
supporting documents of major importance; a description of the  
candidate's contribution to the Prize's objectives; and  
recommendations from the National Commissions for UNESCO or the NGOs  
enjoying a consultative status with UNESCO.
