Development Dilemmas uses information and communication technology (ICT) to create "a seminar room, a meeting place, a debating site, and an incubator of new ideas, methods, and systems to facilitate free flow of knowledge from the portals of academia and experts to ordinary citizens and vice versa." The idea is that radio programmes - made accessible to all through online listening options - can facilitate a multi-directional information flow when complemented by the interactivity facilitated by online features such as a discussion forum. The goal is to create inclusive policy paradigms by sparking debate, in recognition of the conviction that there are multiple perspectives that need to be considered in any policy decision.

For example, in a September 2008 edition of Development Dilemmas, PRSA travels to Rawalakot, a tourist city in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, to look at the performance, challenges, and possibilities for FM radio stations in Pakistan. Five years after licenses were first issued to the private sector to broadcast on airwaves once reserved for state-owned Radio Pakistan, this programme explores how the local media scenario offers wider public space through more radio stations. Several panelists participate in a moderated discussion.
