Cholera Outbreaks Were A Reoccurring Problem In Dondo, Central Mozambique, Leading To 200 Unpleasant Mortalities Annually.
Cholera outbreaks were a recurring problem in Dondo, Central Mozambique, resulting in two hundred painful mortalities every year. Once the community radio station started broadcasting health programs in Sena and Ndau, the local languages, folks understood how they got sick and modified their behaviour. The next year no one in Dondo died of cholera.
In the age of the Internet and cell phone, community radio remains a dynamic way for folk to attach, learn and debate issues necessary to their lives. Like the name would indicate, a community radio station is built and run by a community. It sometimes has a comparatively small footprint (up to 60 miles) and broadcasts in the local language. Community radio station licences are based mostly on not accepting funds from political parties or supporting one political party or candidate over another, and are owned, managed and run by community members. Though they may receive donor money to start, they must be sustained by the community in the long term.
Communication bolsters grassroots development
A community radio station is a critical development tool. It offers a transport for true empowerment and grassroots development. When the community station is owned and run by local women and men overall community inclusion is powerful. Obtaining access to correct info and having an opportunity to voice views through call-in shows or by working with programme production at the station, the community can use the radio station to address issues and find lasting solutions. When the radio stations are 'ours', listeners trust the programming. There's confidence in what's aired, guidance is more likely to be followed, and positive, social change can take root.
Community radio has been utilized to stimulate social change across the world since the 1940s in Latin America and the US, and in Europe as far back as the early 1970s. From the early 90s it has recently been recognised as a powerful tool for empowerment in communities tackling social, political and business development challenges, not least in Africa. Loads of community stations in SA, Mali, Mozambique and Niger, as an example, all broadcast locally applicable content news, health, agriculture & environment, education, rights, news, and that kind of stuff.
In addition, community radio is effectively used for celebration, preservation and further development of local culture. For example, many community stations in SA broadcast 'stories of the ancestors', which is an important cultural component of life. When the radio station airs in the local language, new pride blossoms as I saw in Tanzania with a Maasai community who said to me, "through our own radio station, we were given our identity back!". In Ghana, conventional chiefs have adopted community radio to engage with their folks.
Enabling girls by giving them a voice
Issaka Mamouna Habibou, Director of 'Radio Communitaire Ter' in Niger
It has taken a bit to get women behind the mics in numerous communities : girls traditionally work in the home, in the field, as well as walk to gather firewood and water. Taking the lead in public is quite foreign to the role of girls in a rural African context. But this notion has changed in numerous communities, realising that, in actual fact women are at the center of the family and the community. It is women who tell the stories about the past and pass on the customs to the young ones. Girls also desire to find out more about women's issues from a woman's voice.
Girls station chiefs are still not commonplace. But where they are the stations are sometimes more viable. In Ter, Niger, 140 kms outside of the capital Niamey, it was Issaka Mamouna Habibou, who received me in the Director's office. And all of the folks working at the station were women. She explained that the station's money had disappeared together with CDs and clobber. When the radio board had finalised their investigation, letting those with long fingers go, only women were left.
In most African countries, literacy is still a real challenge. Big populations are not sufficiently literate to read a newspaper or to make use of the Net actively. This is where radio still comes into its own as a communication tool and will continue to do so for a while to come,writes tagza.com.
