[2010] This paper by PANOS London showcases four community radio projects helping to tackle the Millennium Development Goals in developing countries.
The case studies – in India, Malawi, the Caribbean and Nepal – demonstrate how communication at the grassroots level is so important, not only empowering the people most affected, but enabling them to become advocates for change in their own communities.
See in particular case 2 on Mwana Alirenji, a farmer-to-farmer radio magazine addressing food security in rural Malawi, and case 3 on My Island-My Community, the first soap opera to address climate change in the Caribbean.
