African Networks Share Knowledge to Increase Community Radio Social Impact
in Africa

Accra, Ghana, December 18, 2009. AMARC Africa Board and network and
coommunity radio representatives from eleven countries of Western Eastern
and Southern Africa met in Accra, Ghana, to improve knowledge sharing on
best practices in order to develop integrated sustainability models for
Country Community Radio Networks and to increase the social impact of
community radio in alleviating poverty and promoting democracy and
achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The AMARC Africa Knowledge Sharing Workshop of Community Radio Networks in
Africa held from 16-18 December in Accra, Ghana. The workshop is part of
the strategic action plan defined by AMARC Africa members in the 4th Pan
African Conference in Abidjan, Côte d'ivoire April 2009 and was hosted by
the Ghana community Radio Network (GCRN) and counted on the financial
support of OSIWA and other AMARC partners.

The participatory workshop permitted to share knowledge on the specific
challenges of national networks, on the diversity of national contexts, on
their forces and weaknesses and to define key areas for action by AMARC
Africa as they are key components of the African community radio network.
The recommendations of the workshop come to reinforce the reconstruction
of AMARC Africa and its action plan including the preparation for the
AMARC10 global Conference of Community Radio Broadcasters to be held in
Argentina, November 8-13, 2010.

The participants met with community radio stakeholders and Ghana
authorities, thus having a better insight of the work accomplished by the
GCRN, following the 10th anniversary of Radio Ada, the first Ghana
community radio. They also expressed their solidarity for the challenges
ahead to the expansion of the community radio sector.

The participants issued the Accra declaration calling governments of
Africa to work towards the licensing of community broadcasting in their
countries. The AMARC Africa Board and the delegates expressed their
concern, meeting in West Africa, for the lack of Independent Community
Radio in the largest democracy in Africa, Nigeria. AMARC Africa calls upon
the Presidency and the state to recognize the basic human rights to
freedom of expression and to fulfil the promise to establish community
radios in Nigeria. Read the Accra Declaration at:

Stablished in 1997, AMARC-Africa is the African regional section of AMARC.
It groups more than 400 direct members radios and federations from all the
continent. The main global impact of AMARC since its creation in 1983, has
been to accompany and support the establishment of a world wide community
radio sector that has democratized the media sector. Through service to
members, networking and project implementation, the World Association of
Community Radio Broadcasters AMARC, brings together a network of more than
4,000 community radios, Federations and community media stakeholders in
more than 115 countries.

d'autres partenaires de l'AMARC.

L'atelier participatif a permis le partage de connaissances sur les enjeux
spécifiques des réseaux nationaux, sur la diversité de contextes dans
lesquels ils évoluent, sur leurs forces et leurs faiblesses les réseaux,
et dans la définition des orientations pour le travail de l'AMARC Afrique
car ils sont des composants clés du réseau africain de radios
communautaires. Les recommandations de l'atelier sont venus renforcer le
processus de reconstruction de l'AMARC Afrique et enrichir son plan
d'action incluant la préparation de la Conférence mondial de
radiodiffuseurs communautaires AMARC10 en Argentine en novembre 2010.

Les participants ont rencontré des alliés des radios communautaires et des
autorités du Ghana, ce qui leur a permis de mieux comprendre le travail

première radio communautaire du Ghana. Ils ont également exprimé leur
solidarité devant les enjexu posés au développement du secteur de la
radiodifusion communautaire au Ghana.

Les participants on produit la declaration d'Accra, faisant un appel aux
gouvernements de l'Afrique à octroyer des licenses pour la radiodiffusion
communautaire dans leurs pays. Le conseil de l'AMARC Afrique et les
délégués réunis dans l'Afrique de l'ouest ont exprimé leur préoccupation
devant l'absence de la radio communautaire dans la plus grande démocratie
de l'Afrique, le Nigeria. L'AMARC Afrique appèlle la présidence et l'État
à reconnaitre le droit humain fundamental qui est la liberté d'expression
et de remplir la promesse de metre sur pied des radios communautaires au
Nigeria.

l'AMARC. Elle regroupe plus de 400 membres directs de radios et
fédérations 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 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.

RT @IJNet: US Summer #Journalism fellowships seeks applicants from
developing countries encouraged http://bit.ly/8NaRji

Journalists from developing countries are encouraged to apply for a
three-week summer fellowship at Stanford University, called the Draper
Hills Summer Fellowship on Democracy and Development Program. Deadline for
application submission: January 8, 2010.

During the fellowship, from July 25 to August 13, 2010, Stanford
professors and research teams will lead daily seminars and host speeches
by prominent members of American political and civil society. Fellows will
also be given the opportunity to lead discussion sessions and exchange
ideas for positive reform, drawing from their experiences at home.

Successful applicants will be mid-career professionals, fluent in English,
and have a dedication to democracy and development.

From more information and to download the application form visit
http://cddrl.stanford.edu/fellowships/summerfellows/.

Program Curriculum

For three weeks, fellows participate in morning seminars with a team of
leading Stanford professors and professional research staff from Stanford
Law School, the Graduate School of Business, the Economics and Political
Science departments as well as the Hoover Institution. The program's
all-volunteer faculty include Larry Diamond, Kathryn Stoner-Weiss, Chip
Blacker, Stanford President Emeritus Gerhard Casper, Avner Greif, Tom
Heller, Peter Henry, Erik Jensen, Terry Karl, Helen Stacy, and Allen
Weiner.

In the afternoons, prominent American business and political leaders,
academics, and journalists talk about their experiences and professions,
and fellows lead sessions themselves, sharing insight into how reform
progressed (or failed to progress) in their home countries and exchanging
ideas for positive change. Program speakers have included Carl Gershman,
president of the National Endowment for Democracy; Joan Blades, co-founder
of MoveOn.org; Marc Pomar, president of the International Research and
Exchanges Board (IREX); Maria Rendon Labadan, Deputy Director, USAID;
Judge Pamela Rymer, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit;
and Tod Lindberg and Peter Berkowitz, Hoover Institution fellows.

In addition, Draper Hills Summer Fellows also visit leading companies in
Silicon Valley, such as Google and eBay, as well as media organizations
such as the San Francisco Chronicle, KQED Radio, and nonprofit
organizations and foundations in the Bay Area.

Participants: Eligibility Criteria

This program is aimed at early to mid-career policymakers, academics, and
leaders of civil society organizations (such as representatives of trade
unions, nongovernmental organizations, the media, business and
professional associations) who will play important roles in their
country's political, economic, and social development. We anticipate
recruiting a group of 25-30 individuals dedicated to democracy,
development and rule of law promotion within their home countries
(particularly in, but not limited to, the regions of the Middle East,
Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and former Soviet Union).

Successful applicants will be proficient in spoken and written English and
will have academic and practical credentials necessary to benefit fully
from the course and actively contribute to the discussions. The ideal
participant will have extraordinary motivation, at least five years of
experience with some demonstrated achievements in a relevant sector of
development, and a keen interest in learning as well as sharing knowledge
and experiences about his or her country.

Funding

Stanford will pay travel, accommodation, living expenses, and visa costs
for the duration of the three-week program for a certain portion of
applicants. Where possible, applicants are encouraged to supply some or
all of their own funding from their current employers or international
nongovernmental organizations.

[creative-radio] At least 140 radios from 50 countries will participate in the Radio1812 event!

 

For the fourth year in a row, radio stations from across the world will come together to celebrate International Migrants Day by producing, broadcasting and sharing programmes that will make migrants voices heard across the world.

In his statement UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says that: "migration can be a positive and empowering experience for migrants themselves, and for both the home and host societies. But for too many migrants, the reality is discrimination, exploitation and abuse."

As December 18 we aim to raise awareness about these issues and are therefore very pleased with the continued and growing participation of radios, community-based as well as public and international broadcasters.

A special world map on the front page of the Radio1812 site shows the participating radio stations as well as a list of events to celebrate International Migrants Day.

On the site you will also find a selection of the programmes produced by the participants as well as special content which the team at Radio1812 has put together, including:

- An interview with Mr. Alhamid El Jamri, Chair of the UN Committee on Migrant Workers (in French)

- An interview with Greek filmmaker Costa Gravas, who chaired the Civil Society Days at the Global Forum on Migration and Development in Athens (in French)

- A report on Migration and Climate Change (in English)

- An interview with Khalid Louhichi from the League of Arab States on the topic of youth and migration (in French)

- A report on Cartaya, a case study of a circular migration project in Southern Spain (Spanish)

For more information please go to www.radio1812.net or send a message to radio1812@december18.net

Urgent - Crisis in #Copenhagen petition #cop15

Urgent - Crisis in Copenhagen

Hi,

I just joined over 13 million people in the world's largest-ever campaign
to keep us all safe.

There has never been a more important time to add your name - our message
is being delivered to leaders at the Copenhagen climate summit later this
week.

Please add your voice now at

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

Thanks!

With three days to go, the crucial Copenhagen summit is failing.

The world's leaders arrive for an unprecedented 60 hours of direct
negotiations. Experts agree that without a tidal wave of public pressure
for a deal, the summit will not stop catastrophic global warming of 2
degrees.

Click below to sign the petition for a real deal in Copenhagen -- the
campaign already has a staggering 13 million supporters - let's make it
the largest petition in history in the next 72 hours! Every single name is
actually being read out at the summit -- sign on at the link below and
forward this email to everyone!

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

An Avaaz team is meeting daily with negotiators inside the summit who will
organize a spectacular petition delivery to world leaders as they arrive,
building a giant wall of boxes of names and reading out the names of every
person who signs. With the largest petition in history, leaders will have
no doubt that the whole world is watching.

Millions watched the Avaaz vigil inside the summit on TV yesterday, where
Archbishop Desmond Tutu told hundreds of delegates and assembled children:

"We marched in Berlin, and the wall fell.
"We marched for South Africa, and apartheid fell.
"We marched at Copenhagen -- and we WILL get a Real Deal."

Copenhagen is seeking the biggest mandate in history to stop the greatest
threat humanity has ever faced. History will be made in the next few days.
How will our children remember this moment? Let's tell them we did all we
could.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

With hope,

Ricken, Alice, Ben, Paul, Luis, Iain, Veronique, Graziela, Pascal, Paula,
Benjamin, Raj, Raluca, Taren, David, Josh and the whole Avaaz team.

Creative-Radio is an independent forum for people active in or interested in the use of radio in development, in particular promoting public health, improved education, protection of the environment, improved livelihoods, good governance and conflict mitigation. Since it started in 1996, Creative-Radio has been in the forefront of radio's resurgence as a tool for social change and peace-building, and it helps promote best practice in these areas.
