My PhD- project is called “TV-programmes that make the difference. Documentary production and capacity building within the context of Communication for Development”.

The study is based on the UNESCO project “UNESCO’s network of Young TV producers on HIV and AIDS”. The project, established in 2002, supports capacity building of young TV professionals in developing countries for accurate, credible and sensitive reporting on HIV and AIDS. I am collecting my empirical material mainly through qualitative interviews and participatory observation, while attending workshops that UNESCO is arranging in developing countries worldwide.
