In this first edition, it looks at some of the main development sectors such as agriculture, education and healthcare, and how technology can not just play an important part, but also be applied in a cross-sectoral fashion, in addressing the issues."

ly from idea to execution to finished film. Throughout the book, Thompson demystifies and de-clutters the way docs are produced today, illustrating the use of a few simple and accessible tools and techniques while still engaging with the aesthetic possibilities of the medium, its creative opportunities and its satisfying rewards of giving back to the world.

ncepción, ejecución y retroalimentación de las políticas públicas. Piense en una política pública cualquiera. En una democracia, ¿cuál es el momento T0 de esta política pública? La respuesta es el proceso electoral. Es allí donde la sociedad decide cuáles propuestas quiere ver implementadas y cuáles no. ¿Hay comunicación en esta etapa? ¿Y el momento T1? Una vez electos, los tomadores de decisiones deben empezar el proceso de planificación de las políticas que van a implementar. De nuevo, ¿está presente la comunicación aquí? Y continuemos… T2: aprobación legislativa. T3: implementación/ejecución. T4: monitoreo y evaluación. T5: retroalimentación y reinicio del ciclo electoral. En cada una de las etapas del diseño e implementación de una política pública cualquiera, hay palabras clave presentes: información, participación, diálogo, empoderamiento, mitigación de riesgos, corrección de rumbos, rendición de cuentas… En todos estos quehaceres hay robustos aspectos comunicativos y de acceso a la información. A estas alturas, usted, lector juicioso, se estará preguntando: ¿por qué todo este esfuerzo para subrayar lo obvio? Y es aquí donde reside el segundo pilar de esta caja de herramientas y estrategias: aunque parezca evidente, la comunicación, comprendida en su complejidad, diversidad y amplitud, debe estar incorporada en la ruta integral de las políticas públicas; cambiar este escenario es central para la eficiencia misma de las políticas que buscamos implementar."

d human development overall. Among other things, it notes regional agreements and instruments relevant to the practical application of access to information principles which are invaluable references, both for the policy guidance they provide to EU Delegations and as potential models for such regulations and systems in other regions where the EU supports progress in this area. There is much to be done – and much that EU Delegations can do to help. These are some of the practical, effective steps that EUDs have already taken to improve public access to information in developing countries: training journalists in the use of access to information laws; providing technical IT aid to state agencies running online ATI systems; supporting public information campaigns about citizens’ ‘right to know’; aiding in the drafting of ATI laws, with expert advisers in the field; sponsoring cross-border consultations of ATI systems specialists; collaborating in legal training programmes for judges and prosecutors; assisting countries in measuring local ATI progress in accord with the commitments of SDG16-10, in conjunction with media and civil society. This Practical Guide overall provides tools and hands-on examples for EU Delegations to study and perhaps to emulate, including a review of the EU’s own policy guidance and recent history in this area."
