Referred by a partner ICO and matched with professionals from RPSF-recognized associations, these organizations receive pro bono support to develop a communications plan, create tailored tools, or benefit from strategic coaching. Grounded in an ethical approach, the program draws on the UN’s sustainable development principles and the foundations of development communication — strengthening organizations’ visibility, enhancing their public perception, and driving tangible change.
