At SDJF, we are mindful in designing and implementing media and communication programs based on the principles and theories by Development Communication scholars. SDJF conducts evidence based social research assignments on latest methods in communication such as mobile storytelling with the aim of improving and expanding communication research which is rather lacking in the local academic sphere. In our research, we are also dedicated to incorporate novel media concepts and approaches to ensure pragmatic and scientific outcomes. The findings of our research will contribute to the other 3 program areas of SDJF.
