A communication strategy for the new RCH project was completed by DHS in August 2007. The strategy provides a comprehensive approach and action plan for the effective engagement of key stakeholders. The project team has publicly released a RCH project summary and launched a project website 3. These media provide general information on the history and status of the project.
To provide clear and consistent messages, the project team has developed a communications protocol that covers the release of information to stakeholders during the construction phase. This protocol is being observed by state parties with an interest in the project and is working effectively.
