UNESCO supported community radios win hearts in Tanzania

UNESCO, within the framework of the SDC-funded project, “Empowering Local Radios with ICTs for the Promotion of Rural Citizens’ Participation in Democratic Discourse and Development”, supports 25 local and community radios in Tanzania Mainland and the Zanzibar Archipelago as well as the Community Media Network of Tanzania (TADIO).

The support aims at strengthening collaboration, advocacy and knowledge sharing amongst community media practitioners as well as undertaking capacity building sessions to enhance radio management and radio practitioners’ skills. Starting in June 2017, UNESCO has been undertaking several interventions to enhance the supported local and community radio sustainability.
