d'Ivoire
Nairobi, Kenya, 7 novembre 2008.
Le conseil de l'AMARC Afrique, veut annoncer que la 4ème conférence
panafricaine se tiendra en Côte d'ivoire en avril 2009. L'organisation
hôte est l'Union des radios de proximité de la Côte d'Ivoire.
L'AMARC Afrique organise la conférence panafricaine à tous les quatre
années pour ses membres et partenaires afin d'analyser les enjeux de la
radio communautaire en Afrique. C'est pendant la conférence panafricaine
que les membres de l'AMARC Afrique et leurs alliés, élisent le conseil
d'administration aussi bien que le plan d'action stratégique pour les
quatre années suivants.
Il s'agit de la deuxième fois que la conférence panafricaine se tiendra
dans l'ouest de l'Afrique. Les conférences panafricaines antérieures se
sont tenus, à Johannesburg (Afrique du Sud) en 1997, Dakar (Sénégal) en
2001 et à Nairobi (Kenya) en 2005.
Les membres de cinq pays, l'Ouganda, la Côte d'Ivoire, le Nigeria, le
Niger et le Burkina Faso, ont présenté leur candidature. Le conseil
d'administration a évalué les propositions et a pris une décision. Le
pays hôte de la 4ème conférence panafricaine sera la Côte d'Ivoire.
Le choix de la Côte d'ivoire a été faite sur la base de: (a) La qualité
de la présentation du dossier (b) Le fait que c'est présenté par une
fédération; (c) Que la proposition compte sur le soutien des radios; (d)
Que la proposition compte sur l'approbation du gouvernement; (e) Que les
enjeux en Côte d'Ivoire sont importants pour l'AMARC Afrique; (f)
Qu'elle permet de permettre l'alternance géographique avec les autres
Conférences Pan Africaines.
L'AMARC Afrique compte plus de 364 membres basés dans toutes les
sous-régions du continent. L'AMARC Afrique, est la section africaine de
l'AMARC, regroupe des radios et leurs fédérations nationales dans tout
le continent. Le principal impact de l'AMARC depuis sa fondation en 1983
a été d'accompagner et d'appuyer l'établissement d'un secteur africain
et mondial de la radio communautaire. L'AMARC fait plaidoyer pour le
droit à la communication au niveau international, national, local et de
quartier et défend et promeut les intérêts du mouvement des radios
communautaires à travers la solidarité, le réseautage et la coopération.
AMARC AFRICA'S Fourth Pan-African Conference to be held in Ivory Coast
Nairobi, Kenya, November 7, 2008.
AMARC Africa Board wishes to announce the fourth Pan-African Conference
to be held in Côte d'Ivoire in April 2009 hosted by its member, the
"Union des radios de proximité de la Côte d'Ivoire".
Every four years AMARC Africa organises a Pan-African conference for its
members and community radio stakeholders to discuss the challenges of
community radio in Africa. It is during the Pan-African conferences that
AMARC Africa members elect the Board of Directors as well as decide on
the strategic plan for action for the following four years.
This is the second time that the Pan-African conference will be held in
West Africa. Previous Pan-African Conferences were held in Johannesburg
(South Africa) in 1997, Dakar (Senegal) in 2001 and Nairobi (Kenya) in 2005.
Ivory Coast was selected to host the conference from tenders submitted
from AMARC member country networks namely Uganda, Côte d'Ivoire,
Nigeria, Niger and Burkina Faso.
Ivory Coast was selected to host the Pan-African on the basis of (a) the
quality of the presentation of its documentation; (b) the fact the bid
was presented by a Federation (c) the federation has the support of the
radios. (d) the federation has support and approval from the government;
(e) that the challenges of CR in Côte d'Ivoire are very important for
AMARC Africa as they resonate with the rebuilding of AMARC Africa (f)
That the selection allows for geographic balance with other Pan African
Conferences.
AMARC Africa members number over 364, and are based in all sub-regions
of the continent. AMARC-Africa is the African regional section of AMARC
grouping together radios from all the sub-regions of the continent. The
main global impact of AMARC since its creation in 1983, has been to
accompany and support the establishment of an African and world wide
community radio sector that has democratized the media sector. AMARC
Africa advocates for the right to communicate at the international,
national, local and neighbourhood levels and defends and promotes the
interests of the community radio movement through solidarity, networking
and Cooperation.
