Plan stratégique de la WACC 2022-2026
Summary
The WACC 2022-2026 strategic plan establishes a framework to advance communication rights, particularly for marginalized populations. The organization identifies five priority areas: digital communication rights, the rights of migrants and refugees, the rights of indigenous peoples, climate change, and gender equality. A central tenet of the strategy is the concept of 'effective access,' which argues that technology alone is insufficient for social progress without accompanying literacy, language support, and education. The plan also emphasizes the need to counter the 'surveillance economy' and the dominance of global corporations over internet infrastructure. To achieve these goals, WACC intends to partner with civil society organizations in the Global South, support community-managed telecommunications, and utilize the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) to advocate for gender equality in news media.
Key insights
- WACC defines communication as a fundamental human right essential for individual dignity and community, advocating for full access to information and media diversity to enable transparent and democratic public debate.
- The organization distinguishes between basic digital access and 'effective access,' noting that the mere availability of technology does not guarantee social progress; true access requires media and information literacy, appropriate languages, and the ability for communities to produce their own content.
- WACC identifies significant systemic inequalities in digital infrastructure, including a gender gap in internet access and the disproportionate power of global corporations that drive a 'surveillance economy' and maintain the dominance of colonial languages.
- The strategic plan prioritizes the communication rights of migrants and refugees to counter xénophobia and misinformation, aiming to establish citizen journalist networks to create rights-based narratives.
- For indigenous peoples, WACC emphasizes that access to indigenous community media is a prerequisite for exercising fundamental rights and achieving the goals of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
- Regarding climate change, the document argues that effective responses depend on public attention and the transmission of scientific knowledge in local languages, specifically noting that vulnerable communities must be able to tell their own stories and propose their own solutions.
- The Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) serves as a primary research tool for WACC to provide evidence of how women's communication rights are denied, which is then used to advocate for policy changes in newsrooms globally.
