La couverture de Studio Tamani et sa contribution au processus de paix au Mali: Étude exploratoire des caractéristiques relatives aux bulletins d’information et aux Grands Dialogues de Studio Tamani ainsi que de ses contributions possibles à une évolution des savoirs et des points de vue

Christoph Spurk, Guido Keel

Winterthur: IAM Institut d’études médiatiques appliquées Université des Sciences Appliquées de Zurich (2016), 89 pp.

"Ce compte-rendu présente les résultats d'une étude s'appuyant sur une méthode à la fois innovante et éprouvée pour mettre en lumière les effets d'un programme radiophonique d'informations et de débats au mali. La présente étude poursuit deux objectifs : d’une part, il s’agit d’iden ... tifier les effets relatifs à la résolution des conflits et au processus de paix à différents niveaux (individu et société d’un côté, concernant les savoirs, les opinions et les comportements d’un autre côté). D’autre part, elle vise à acquérir de nouvelles connaissances méthodologiques pour permettre à l’avenir de développer des études similaires sur les effets des médias. Au-delà des résultats obtenus, ce projet doit également servir de base concrète pour améliorer la pratique des programmes d’informations de Studio Tamani au Mali dans le but d’amplifier leur impact. Le concept de l'étude a été élaboré en prenant en compte d'une part les hypothèses de travail du programme de la fondation Hirondelle au Mali et d'autre part les publications actuelles concernant les effets des médias. Ainsi, les thèses examinées portent à la fois sur les effets visés par le programme de la fondation Hirondelle au Mali et les hypothèses plus générales avancées par la recherche en matière d'effets médiatiques. Parallèlement, cette étude se veut explorative, intégrant ainsi dans toutes ses étapes la possibilité de découvrir de nouveaux effets jusqu'ici inconnus. À cet effet, deux méthodes couramment utilisées dans les études médiatiques ont été combinées : l'enquête et l'analyse de contenus. L'étude permet de dégager quatre conclusions principales : 1 : Studio Tamani fournit plus d‘informations sur le conflit et ses auditeurs se sentent mieux informés, de façon significative 2 : L’écoute de Studio Tamani éveille donc l’intérêt politique en général, consolidant ainsi une condition pour que les citoyens prennent part au dialogue politique et à la recherche de solutions. 3 : L’écoute aux émissions de Studio Tamani incite plus aux discussions à propos du conflit. Cet effet se restreint toutefois au cercle de la famille et des amis. 4 : Il y a une préférence significante parmis les écouteurs des émissions de Studio Tamani pour le «dialogue » comme solution au conflit inter-malien. Si l’étude n’a pas pu vérifier certaines hypothèses de travail trop ambitieuses du programme Hirondelle, comme l’idée que Studio Tamani encourageait un « engagement vers la paix » ou encore une « culture de la paix », elle prouve toutefois qu’écouter les émissions de Studio Tamani a des effets favorables au processus de paix."

Impact Evaluation of Peace Through Development II (P-DEV II): Radio Programming in Chad and Niger

Steven E. Finkel, Reynaldo T. Rojo-Mendoza, Cassilde L. Schwartz, Chris A. Belasco, Anne Kreft

Washington, DC: USAID (2015), 48 pp.

"This document is a report on the radio component of Peace through Development II (P-DEV II), a multi-year development program funded by the United States Agency for International Development/West Africa (USAID/WA), whose main goal is to counter violent extremism in Chad, Niger, and Burkina Faso. P- ... DEV II has four strategic objectives: 1) empower youth; 2) increase moderate voices; 3) increase the capacity of civil society; and 4) strengthen local government [...] Part of P-DEV II efforts are concentrated on building the capacity of local radio stations to produce and broadcast content by providing them with equipment, technical assistance, and training of their staff. In Chad, training and equipment upgrades to partner radio stations led to the production and broadcasting of the series Dabalaye (The Meeting Place), a governance radio program, and Chabab Al Haye (Youth Alive), a program targeting youth. In Niger, local radio station capacity building led to the production and broadcasting of the series Sada Zumunci (Solidarity), a governance radio program, and Gwadaben Matasa (Youth Boulevard), a youth program. This report presents an assessment of P-DEV II radio programming in relation to its strategic objectives and stated goals by evaluating the impact of radio broadcasts among youth (ages 15-30) in selected radio-only zones (non-core) in Chad and Niger [...] P-DEV II radio programming had positive effects on interaction with people from other ethnicities in Chad, but no impact in Niger. The impact of radio listenership on interpersonal and institutional trust is mixed. In Chad, positive effects on trust in local government, central government and in religious leaders were found, but radio listenership had a negative effect on interpersonal trust. In Niger, listenership had positive effects on trust in local government and in religious leaders, but a negative effect on trust in the police. There are relatively strong positive effects of P-DEV II radio programming on the perception that other ethnic groups and youth participate in decision-making in Chad. In Niger, by contrast, negative effects were found on the perception that women and the respondent’s own ethnic group are involved in decision-making." (Executive summary, page 2-3) more
