plan estratégico 2022 – 2026
Summary
The WACC 2022–2026 Strategic Plan establishes a framework to advance communication rights as essential for human dignity and sustainable development. The organization identifies five programmatic priorities: digital communication rights, the rights of migrants and refugees, the rights of indigenous peoples, the intersection of communication and climate change, and gender equality in media. To achieve these, WACC emphasizes 'effective access'—which combines technology with literacy and education—and seeks to counter the influence of 'surveillance capitalism' and state censorship. The plan also details organizational goals for financial sustainability, network expansion, and increased visibility within global institutions like the United Nations.
Key insights
- WACC defines communication rights as inherent to all other human rights, requiring open access to information and knowledge to enable transparent, informed, and democratic participation in public debate.
- The organization argues that simple technological availability is insufficient for social progress; instead, it advocates for 'effective access,' which integrates infrastructure with literacy, language, education, and the ability to produce content.
- WACC identifies significant threats to communication autonomy, including the dominance of global corporations through 'surveillance capitalism,' the prevalence of colonial languages like English, and increasing internet censorship by authoritarian states.
- In the area of digital rights, WACC intends to support civil society in the Global South by promoting digital media literacy, open-source software, community-managed telecommunications ('Community Networks'), and participation in public policy.
- Regarding migration, WACC aims to counter xenophobic narratives and the hostility generated by certain media coverage by establishing networks of citizen journalists composed of migrants and host communities.
- WACC emphasizes that indigenous peoples' rights to communication, particularly access to community radio, are essential for fulfilling the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
- The organization links the climate crisis to communication rights, noting that marginalized communities—especially women in developing countries—face barriers to participating in climate action due to restricted access to land, capital, and decision-making spheres.
- WACC leads the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), the largest long-term research project on gender in news media, providing evidence to urge media companies to change policies and promote gender equality.
