An Assessment of the Role of Community Radio in Peacebuilding and Development: Case Studies in Liberia and Sierra Leone

Brussels; Washington, DC: Search for Common Ground (2009), 5 pp.

"This five-page report details the results of an evaluation of four community radio stations in rural Sierra Leone and Liberia. The evaluation focused on areas still struggling to achieve meaningful development in a post-conflict setting and was designed to assess the relationships between drivers o ... f development and community radio stations. The study found that community radios are significantly impacting development in their communities via relationships with local and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The study included an analysis of current radio programming for its impact on local development processes, while an audience survey and focus groups were used to better understand audience perceptions and uses of local radio. Stations were also evaluated on their capacity as independent development agents with an eye towards ongoing peacebuilding functions. According to the report, the impact of community radios falls into two categories: support for programme implementation leading to improved efficacy, broader reach, accountability, and community feedback; and regular airing of education and awareness programming - yielding results in changing attitudes and behaviours. The study found that the community stations had a positive and engaged relationship with local government as well as civil society organisations. Overall, the study found that community radio plays a central role in disseminating information related to development and in improving development outcomes through partnerships at all levels. The study found that sensitisation and awareness programmes were often cited as audiences' favourites, as was interactive, public forum programming. A majority of listeners credited community radio stations with improving basic living conditions and encouraging an attitude of community responsibility and pride. Audiences also expressed a desire for expanded broadcast times. Station leadership was found to be the single overriding factor determining a station's impact and effectiveness. According to the report, the stations also positively contributed to peacebuilding in their communities. Listeners reported a high impact from programmes that address peace and nonviolent conflict resolution. Community stations in all locations were also described as active participants in diffusing potential violent crises. It was found that radio helps marginalised people without access to other means of communications and was universally cited as vital in facilitating peaceful election processes. The report concludes that community radio does play a strong role in local peacebuilding, and that radio stations' promotion of inclusive development processes has a broad impact in promoting sustainable peace. However, it also found that radio's impact is often reliant on the cooperation of government, and that community radio stations are making limited use of their power as media outlets to compel government participation in media."

Emisoras aymaras y movilizaciones campesinas: Un estudio acerca del rol de las emisoras comunitarias y radios aymaras en el altiplano paceño, 2000 y 2003

"Las radios comunitarias en el área rural, se vuelven comunitarias sobre todo en tiempos de conflictos, al decir que la gente llega, participa, no cobran nada de la entrevista. Algunas de estas personas, se convierten en especie de reporteros populares, cuando llaman y se reportan. Sin que la radio ... , envíe sus periodistas, tienen una especie de reporteros en su misma comunidad, no son empleados de la radio, son los propios comunarios que opinan, llaman una y otra vez, diciendo que esto está pasando. Sin duda, como Ondas del Titikaka y la radio San Gabriel, históricamente se constituyeron en el centro de comunicación popular, en los conflictos sociales protagonizando como instrumento de articulación entre las comunidades movilizadas en los conflictos sociales del 2000 – 2003 de los bloqueo de caminos. El papel de las radios comunitarias, ha logrado socializar y politizar públicamente la información difundida, convirtiéndose en un punto de conexión que permite interactuar con la población movilizada, coadyuvando y convirtiéndose en valuarte de las movilizaciones. El papel de la radio es el centro articulador, al estar asociados discursivamente sobre los destinos que efectuarían al conjunto de las comunidades, cuando precisamente se alude críticamente sobre el sentido de las políticas públicas para la sociedad. [...] San Gabriel, se constituye en un espacio de amplificación de la noticia radial, que ha generado la movilización colectiva de los movimientos sociales, convirtiéndose en un canal de información, de esta manera en parte integrante de la estructura social, durante los conflictos sociales 2000 – 2003. Se ha demostrado que la labor de Radio San Gabriel, ha sido muy importante para las comunidades rurales, en los procesos de conflictos sociales y bloqueo de caminos (véase Cap. IV). El conjunto de la población del altiplano sigue con mucha atención la programación de ésta emisora, para estar informado de las noticias de las comunidades, provinciales y nacional. Del número de reporteros populares capacitados por San Gabriel, un promedio de 4 respondieron enviando noticias del bloqueo de caminos del 2000 y 2003, éstos viven en la zona movilizada. Y los otros, viven fuera del área del conflicto. Los reporteros populares de San Gabriel, son hombres y mujeres, militantemente comprometidos con su comunidad, trabajan sin recibir ningún pago económico, recupera la devolución de los gastos erogados en el envió del despacho, reciben algunos casetes y pilas para su grabadora, una credencial de la emisora por tiempo definido de un año, que les acredita a cumplir su función de prensa popular en el área rural."
