Resume

The purpose of the project is to ensure six community radio stations in Zimbabwe are capacitated to provide men, women and youths in target communities with critical information and platforms so that they are able to take part in the socio-economic and democratic political spaces. The project is modelled around the need for licensed and non-licensed community radio stations to be provided with sustainable technical capacities to ensure that their role in human rights awareness, democracy and governance – including elections, and community development is enhanced. Through engaging with the stations and their local communities, the project aims to strengthen the six community radio stations as civic community actors, and engage their local communities in and with the work of the stations. Lastly the project will lobby for better conditions for community radios to operate in Zimbabwe.
