Radio Initiatives
In Africa, radio is still the most widely used medium for sharing information with rural audiences. Building on previous experiences, the YenKasa Africa Radio Initiative aims to foster long-term collaboration between farmers’ organizations and rural radio stations. The initiative is based on a participatory approach that uses farmer-centred radio programmes to address family farmers’ specific needs and priorities. Farmers’ organizations actively participate in producing radio programmes, defining key issues, broadcast schedules and interviewees.
