Development communication has evolved as a significant field that uses communication processes, strategies, and media tools to promote social change, economic development, and community participation. Different models of development communication have emerged based on different assumptions about the role of communication in development.

The Diffusion of Innovations model was developed by Everett Rogers in 1962 and became one of the most influential theories in development communication. This model explains how new ideas, technologies, practices, and innovations spread within a social system over time.
