In Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya, most people live in rural areas. However, the media are largely urban-based, with little, if any, attention paid to rural areas.<\/p>\n
Vikes and local partners aim to give rural communities a voice, improve the flow of information from rural areas to the wider national audiences and increase citizens’ access to information.<\/p>\n
The Vikes development programme has created online portals for rural community radio in Tanzania and Uganda, and is training local radio stations to use the portal while supporting their marketing.<\/p>\n
In Kenya, young rural journalists are being trained and mentored to produce better stories about rural communities. Their programmes are broadcast on Radio Baraza’s online radio station.<\/p>\n
In Tanzania, Vikes’ long-standing radio partner Jamii FM is also supported to produce programmes, particularly on women and girls, the rights and lives of people with disabilities and climate change adaptation.<\/p>\n
East African organisations and trainers will also meet each other, network and launch joint activities to promote rural reporting.<\/p>\n
More than 50 community radio stations and several hundred journalists in all three countries will benefit from the co-operation. The new portals will allow radio stations to broadcast their programmes online and reach a national or even global audience, which will also increase their revenue potential.<\/p>\n
