[creative-radio] Ghana: Country Lags Behind in Community Radio

 

Ghana: Country Lags Behind in Community Radio

http://allafrica.com/stories/200912211264.html

[excerpt]

Accra — With a total number of 10 functioning community radio stations,
Ghana is said to be far behind other African countries in utilising the
potential of community radio to encourage the education and participation
of rural communities in the decision making process.

Mali is said to have more than a hundred of such specialised radio owned
and operated by rural communities with content addressing their specific
challenges.

In Ghana's case, acquiring frequency for the operation of community radio
has, over the years, been the number one challenge, says Wilna Quarmyne,
Coordinator of Ghana Community Radio Network (GCRN). But things are
changing now. The National Communications Authority (NCA) is said to have
applied the brakes on the unbridled issuance of frequencies to the
mainstream radio stations and that it will now fast track applications in
respect of Community Radio.

Nigeria is another bad case, according to the African wing of the World
Association of Community Radio Networks - AMARC Africa. At a
knowledge-sharing meeting in Accra, the group called on the presidency of
that country "to recognise the basic human rights to freedom of expression
and lift the ban on community radio in Nigeria."

femlinkpacific welcomes renewal of community radio licence

22 December 2009

Suva, Fiji Islands

Femlinkpacific, the operators of the mobile "suitcase" radio station 89.2FM
today welcomed the news that the Telecommunication Authority of Fiji has
renewed the women's NGO's community radio licence until December 2010:

"Even though we are still required to comply with the media regulations
under the current Public Emergency Decree, this means we can continue with
our weekend broadcasts in the capital city and also undertake our rural
broadcast campaigns, which links rural women in Ba, Nadi, Nausori, Savusavu
and Labasa through the production and broadcast of local programmes which
address their peace and human security priorities," says femlinkpacific
Coordinator, Sharon Bhagwan Rolls, "Community radio is also a valuable way
to promote community based dialogue and discussion."

The rural broadcast campaign is scheduled for January 11 - 23, 2010.

89.2FM uses a low powered transmitter which reaches a 10 kilometre radius.
The project also includes a team of Young Women Producers and Broadcasters
who recently hosted 16 days of special broadcasts dedicated to the annual
global campaign to overcome violence against women.

The suitcase radio station was launched on 5 May 2004.

4th Annual General Meeting of CRF – 19th Feb, 2010 - Bangalore

Dear CR enthusiasts,
 
On behalf of the Community Radio Forum of India (CRF
http://www.crforum.in), I am pleased to inform all members that the 4th Annual General Meeting of the Forum will be held on February 19, 2010 in Bangalore.  This meeting will be held in conjunction with the 2nd Regional Conference of AMARC Asia Pacific scheduled to be held in Bangalore from February 20-23, 2010.  The theme of the conference is "Community Radio for Sustainable Development and Good Governance".
 
The agenda for the CRF meeting will be: a) to conduct organizational elections and put in place a new executive committee; and b) to have an open meeting, with members and other CR practitioners, advocates and enthusiasts in order to take stock of the community radio movement in India and share experiences of those already on air. The first part of the meeting mentioned as (a) above will be open for registered members of CRF only, however the second part of the meeting is open to all.
 
The CRF meeting as well as the AMARC conference will be held at The United Theological College, 63, Millers Road, Benson Town, BANGALORE - 560046.
 
We encourage all of you to attend the CRF meeting and register for the AMARC conference. Please make your travel plans at the earliest so that you don
't miss this important meeting of CRF and an opportunity to interact with others in the region. Visit
http://www.crforum.in for details on CRF and http://asiapacific.amarc.org for more details on AMARC conference.
 
Meanwhile, we would like to request specific suggestions on the agenda for the CRF meeting mentioned above.  In addition, please review the draft agenda of the AMARC conference and share any ideas you may have for scheduling some sessions in which India participants could play a meaningful role at least on the first two days.  This suggestion is being made on the assumption that, although members are welcome to stay on for the full conference of AMARC, most of us may not be able to stay in Bangalore for more than two or three days.
 
Please send your ideas and suggestions on the agenda to Dr Vinod Pavarala on this list as well as cc it to vpavarala@gmail.com

We will be happy to share further details with you as soon as they become available. Hope to see you all in Bangalore.

Warm regards,
Stalin K.

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.

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.

l'AMARC. Elle regroupe plus de 400 membres directs de radios et
fédérations dans tout le continent. Le principal impact de l'AMARC depuis

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.

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.
