At DCMSI, we harness the power of storytelling to illuminate lived experiences and amplify voices that are too often overlooked. Through documentaries, digital narratives, community media, and creative campaigns, we transform real stories into catalysts for dialogue, empathy, and social progress. Our storytelling approach ensures that marginalized communities are not just subjects, but active partners shaping narratives that influence policy, perception, and positive change.

We design and implement evidence-driven SBCC campaigns that inspire informed decision-making and meaningful action. By combining research, strategic communication, and culturally grounded messaging, DCMSI builds initiatives that shift mindsets, challenge harmful norms, and promote healthier, more equitable communities. Our SBCC programs engage stakeholders at every level, ensuring that impact is measurable, sustainable, and community-owned.

DCMSI equips emerging media practitioners, fellows, journalists, and community groups with the skills to produce participatory and socially responsible media. Through workshops, fellowships, mentorship, and hands-on field training, we cultivate a new generation of storytellers and advocates who use media as a force for justice and development. Our capacity-building programs empower participants to create, collaborate, and communicate with confidence, creativity, and purpose.
