The Joint ETC Communications Team was responsible for enhancing visibility of the cluster encouraging access, inclusion, funding and partnerships, in support of ETC2020.
The Joint Communications Team was launched in July 2015 with the aim of leveraging capacity and expertise within ETC member organisations, to enhance visibility of the cluster in support of ETC2020. The concept of a joint team to support communications for the ETC precedes development of the ETC2020 strategy and as such, activities also included those not strictly ETC2020 focused.
Comprising focal points from member organisations, the Joint ETC CommunicationsTeam was responsible for enhancing visibility of the cluster encouraging access, inclusion, funding and partnerships, in support of ETC2020.
All ETC2020 Working Groups have since transitioned into a more ‘consultative’ type role, carrying forward activities that emerged from discussions. Participants from the Joint ETC Communications Team continue to consult and provide input on ETC communication and advocacy activities when required.
Led by the Global ETC cell, organisations that participated in the Joint Communications Team included: Ericsson Response, Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NetHope, Oxfam GB and Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF).
All ETC2020 Tactical Working Groups were transitioned in 2016 into a more ‘consultative’ type role, carrying forward activities that emerged from discussions.
