Embracing Change: The Critical Role of Information, a research project by the Internews’ Center for Innovation & Learning, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, combines Internews’ longstanding effort to highlight the important role ofinformation with Rockefeller’s groundbreaking work on resilience. The project focuses on three major aspects:

– Building knowledge around the role of information in empowering communities to understand and adapt to different types of change: slow onset, long-term, and rapid onset / disruptive;

– Identifying strategies and techniques for strengthening information ecosystems to support behavioral adaptation to disruptive change; and

– Disseminating knowledge and principles to individuals, communities, the private sector, policymakers, and other partners so that they can incorporate healthy information ecosystems as a core element of their social resilience strategies.
