Plan Estratégico de la WACC 2022-2026
Summary
The WACC Strategic Plan 2022-2026 establishes a framework to advocate for communication rights, particularly for the poor, excluded, and vulnerable. The strategy focuses on five core areas: digital communication rights, migrants and refugees, indigenous peoples, climate change, and gender equality. Key initiatives include promoting 'effective access' to digital tools, supporting indigenous community radio, and continuing the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) to track gender representation in news. The plan also emphasizes organizational sustainability, financial diversification, and the alignment of its goals with the UN 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.
Key insights
- The WACC identifies a significant digital divide where over 50% of the global population lacks internet access, noting that growth in basic access is slower in lower-income countries.
- The organization advocates for 'effective access' to communication, arguing that the mere availability of technology is insufficient for social progress without literacy, appropriate language, and education.
- WACC identifies systemic threats to communication autonomy, including the power of global corporations practicing 'surveillance capitalism', the dominance of colonial languages like English, and censorship by authoritarian states.
- The strategy prioritizes the rights of migrants and refugees to access information and communication platforms to counter xenophobic narratives and misinformation.
- For indigenous peoples, the WACC emphasizes the essential role of community radio in exercising human rights and shaping sustainable development agendas, aligned with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
- Regarding climate change, the WACC argues that vulnerable communities must exercise their communication rights to tell their own stories and drive solutions, noting that gender-based disparities in access to land and technology hinder women's participation in climate action.
- The Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) is highlighted as the largest and longest-running research project on gender in news media worldwide, providing evidence to challenge media companies to change their policies.
