Community radio case studies
This report investigates the theory and operation of community radio as an information-sharing tool for rural development in Africa. Using three case studies, the report seeks to highlight the positive results of a well-organised community radio operation, as well as discuss the obstacles to effective communication through rural radio. The report was published in response to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Education for All Forum (EFA) held in Dakar in 2000, which emphasised the power of community radio to overcome the challenges of high illiteracy rates, the limits of formal education, and geographic and cultural boundaries.
