WACC provides financial support for communication projects that demonstrate concern for genuine empowerment – highlighted in WACC’s Christian Principles of Communication as creating community, strengthening participation and freedom, developing cultures and being prophetic. Such projects will seek to bring about change in one of the following primary programme areas. • Recognising and building communication rights • Media and gender justice • Communication for peace • Communication and poverty • HIV and AIDS, communication and stigma • Communication for ecumenism WACC is committed to gender equality and expects projects to demonstrate a gender perspective. WACC encourages project applicants to consider the needs of young people and people with disabilities.
