Voices from Villages: Community Radio in the Developing World, Report Released by CIMA

CIMA is pleased to release a new report, Voices from Villages: Community Radio in the Developing World, by Mary Myers, an expert on international media development with many years of experience in this field. Since the 1990s community radio has mushroomed throughout the developing world, and international aid agencies are showing ever greater interest in community media’s ability to inform and empower. Voices from Villages explores the reasons for this expansion and the constraints and challenges community radio still faces.  It also looks at community radio’s record in terms of economic and political development and examines its real achievements against its ideals.
