[Air-l] unesco Community Multimedia Centres programme evaluation

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

some of you might be interested in this:


The UNESCO supported "Community Multimedia Centers" are community- 
based facilities offering both community radio broadcasting and  
telecenter services. Radio broadcasts by local people in local  
languages are now possible at low cost due to the development of  
small, inexpensive, easy-to-operate broadcast facilities. In Africa  
and other regions, where languages are spoken and national broadcast  
networks are weak, community radio provides a new and important  
medium for communication of news, information, and entertainment. The  
radio not only informs, educates and entertains, but it also empowers  
the community by giving a strong public voice to the voiceless, and  
thus encouraging greater accountability in public affairs.
This UNESCO initiative showing the world the power of CMCs is in its  
fifth year of operation, with 39 pilot CMCs established in  
communities across Latin America/Caribbean, Africa and South Asia.
