22-Feb-1982 UNICEF's Development Education Policy, by Jeanne Vickers, UNICEF, Geneva Peace education; UNICEF policy; Education for development; Programme support communications 4pp. The paper traces the origin and growth of UNICEF's concern with development education activities, and discusses current trends.How can development education be applied in the South? UNICEF must also work with national change agents in the North to assure its programmes of adequate governmental and public support. This task is huge and urgent. We livle in a world of economic crisis, a world groaning under the threat of excessive armaments, a world of North-South gap as well as East-West gap. The paper defines "education for international understanding and peace" as bridging the need for literacy in the South and awareness raising/participation in development decisions and action in the North.

The paper then discusses the roots of the current concept of community development to colonial practices, British as well as American and French, and traces the development and application of the concept through the 1950's and 1960s. A case study on Botswana illustrates. A concluding section clarifies the main principles underlying the organization of community development staff at district level, and cautions against the "misleading 'felt-need' concept in communication strategy".
