About us

We Are ADECOTS

ADECOTS believes in Strategic communication which is an evidence-based, results-oriented process,
undertaken in consultation with the participant group(s). It is intrinsically linked to other program elements, cognizant of the local context and favoring a multiplicity of communication approaches, to mulate positive and measurable behavior and social change.
ADECOTS communications productions are research based, and stand on strong theoretical grounds and ably executed by dedicated, specialized and skilled staff with experiences in applying various commmunication approaches ranging from mass communication and entertainment-education, perpersonal communication, participatory development communication, advocacy and social mobilization.

ADECOTS believes that Communication programs need to be responsive to peoples wants, needs and desires. What is more, communication programs must be geared to stimulate social change in more effective ways through careful communication research, analysis, planning, coordination, implementation,management, monitoring and evaluation. This is done to make communication strategies extend beyond individuals and households to include service providers, traditional and religious leaders, and decision makers at different levels to engender systemic social change.

Thus, ADECOTS programs are guided by a rights-based approach on the one hand and results-based management on the other.

We bring more than 24 years’ senior experience forging of collaborations with the government.
