This document presents a summary of the discussions that took place at the 2004 Communication for Development Roundtable and of the recommendations that were developed at the conference.

The Roundtable had three explicit themes:

• Communication for Natural Resource Management (NRM)
• Communication for Isolated and Marginalised Groups
• Communication in Research, Extension and Education

Each theme was attended by a specific working group, and a joint meeting was held at the end of the conference to create a Plan of Action.

The report consists of three parts:

• Summaries of the three thematic sessions
• Reports from each of the three working groups
• A jointly created Plan of Action in Communication for Development
