COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT
Getting the message to people
Documentary, short film & spots
Twelve issue-based documentaries produced and aired through private TV channels and radio,
carrying health, nutrition and HIV/AIDS messages alongside product marketing. Also short
documents for handicraft producers, broadcast on dish channels and advertised in local papers.
Indigenous cultural forms
Using traditional cultural forms to advance development is one of Bioscope's own innovations.
The approach was institutionalised as a people's cultural programme and used from the outset
to advertise issues and campaign against social injustice.
Video screening
117 video screenings at 117 significant spots across Netrokona, Jessore, Chittagong, Feni and
Dhaka between 2009 and mid-2015, raising community awareness of HIV/AIDS transmission, health
rights, nutrition and gender rights.
Poster, leaflet & sticker
Print media for wide-reach information campaigns. Since 2008 the firm has published
1,000 posters, 10,000 leaflets and 5,000 stickers every year and distributed them
among community people.
