The Forum on Communication for Development and Community Media for Family Farming (FCCM) ended late last week. More than 100 participants representing farmer organizations, rural institutions, governments, development agencies, research organizations, NGOs, academia, community media and communication networks came together to share experiences, discussed best practices and come up with a set of firm recommendations for the way forward in the ComDev field.
Thanks to coverage by AMISNET, a set of radio interviews has been produced with a variety of the Forum’s participants, focusing on the FCCM’s main themes and questions.
