ABSTRACT
Technical and professional communicators can effect social change through the rhetoric used in their documents and involving the document's end-users. A qualitative study on the E-40 Inland Waterway project in Ukraine (conducted before the current war) exemplifies the need for end-user-focused rhetoric and a human-centered design process when engaging in socio-economic change.
