WACC Strategic Plan Plan Stratégique de la WACC Plan Estratégico de la WACC 2017–2021

The WACC Strategic Plan 2017–2021 establishes a framework to promote 'communication for all' as a fundamental human right. The organization aims to support marginalized populations—specifically those denied communication rights based on gender, status, or identity—through advocacy, capacity-building, and the creation of global networks. Key initiatives include the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), the development of a Communication Rights Index, and a campaign to end news media sexism by 2020. WACC aligns its goals with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement, positioning communication as essential for achieving these global targets.

• WACC defines communication rights as inherent to all other human rights and essential for dignity, inclusion, and the ability of all people to engage in transparent and democratic public debate.
• The organization identifies several global challenges that increase the urgency of communication rights, including the acceleration of new media changes, geopolitical conflict, the poverty gap, and climate change.
• WACC aims to end sexism in news media by 2020, leveraging evidence from the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), which has tracked women's representation in media since 1995.
• The strategic plan includes the creation of a global Communication Rights Index to measure communication freedoms and deficits, and a Communication Rights Charter to serve as a benchmark for good governance.
• WACC intends to build the capacity of civil society organizations to implement citizen journalism, community media, and poverty reporting to empower marginalized communities.
• The organization seeks to strengthen its role as a faith-based international network by forging ties with secular, intercultural, ecumenical, and interfaith agencies to advance sustainable development.
• To ensure financial sustainability, WACC is implementing a Fund Development Strategy approved in 2016 to diversify revenue sources and expand its donor base.
• WACC aligns its strategic objectives with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement, asserting that communication is integral to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
