Community Radio Madanpokhara (CRM)
Community Radio Madanpokhara (CRM) developed out of a community audio
tower project run by local women. Members of the community participate
through a wide range of different forums, organizing themselves each month
to decide on radio programmes based on the needs of their community. There
is a network of 95 listener clubs and centres with strong participation
from women, farmers and youth, which makes an annual action plan to
stimulate creative and sustainable development work in their locality.
