[2008] Inspired by the performance-based grant system adopted by some countries in the world, the Community Radio Performance Assessment Manual identifies a comprehensive list of indicators as a measurement tool to assess the impact and performance of community radio stations.
These indicators cover all the key characteristics of a community radio station in terms of content, management, sustainability, participation and ownership. Underlying the scoring pattern is the inclusive emphasis given to community at all levels. They also provide insights into what could constitute some barriers and how they could be removed.
Its simple and practical approach make the manual easy to use for field volunteers/workers of community radio and students alike.
