Best Experiences for an Action Research Process 22<br />

• Financing research in the role of community radio <strong>and</strong> women’s development in general.<br />

2. Government’s legislative framework <strong>and</strong> barriers on coverage, content <strong>and</strong> equipment for<br />

community radio.<br />

3. Sustainability of CR<br />

Conclusion<br />

Women’s participation in governance is one of the major issues in today’s development. In the<br />

media world, this challenge has always been associated to lack of information for women <strong>and</strong><br />

the portrait if wimen as objects<br />

It will only be fair to measure women’s contribution to development if <strong>and</strong> when their role can<br />

be recognized, not limited to stereotypical ideas but widened beyond that to decision making,<br />

policy formulations <strong>and</strong> governance. Community radio is st<strong>and</strong>ing out tall in this direction <strong>and</strong><br />

only needs governments to listen. I believe everyone’s role is to make them listen!<br />
