evidence of widespread collaboration.When asked to identify the kinds of benefit that community radio can confer on acommunity, respondents’ preferences were widely spread and tended to reflect arespondent’s particular area of interest - implying that the medium appears well placedto address a wide range of concerns.There is a trend towards the accreditation of radio training.There is a growing recognition among the pilot projects of the need for reliable listenersurveys and more effective marketing (including a national ‘brand-awareness’ campaign)The staging of, or participation in, live events has become a significant component of acommunity radio station’s work.A trend is emerging of broadcasting home-produced drama.49.

Development Planning Unit University College London. [ElectronicVersion] Website: http://networkedlearning.ncsl.org.uk/knowledge-base/researchpapers/participation-relationships-and-dynamic-change-madeline-church-2002.pdfThis document aims to highlight the monitoring and evaluation challenges inherent inworking in a networked way, to reveal some of the ways in which networks have startedto monitor and evaluate their work and to develop and work with some monitoring andevaluation tools that may ‘fit’ better with the kind of work a network does.Section One reviews the main ideas and methodology, while Section Four focuses onParticipation & Evaluation. A very useful resource. The focus on networking can be ofrelevance when evaluating the impact of community radio networks.50. Sayce, Kay & Norrish, Patricia (2006). Perceptions and Practice: AnAnthology of Impact Assessment Experiences. Technical Centre for Agriculturaland rural Cooperaction (ACP-EU). [Electronic Version] Website:http://www.anancy.net/uploads/file_en/impact%20assessment.pdfFor most people in the development community, however, the term ‘impact assessment’still represents a myth or at best an illusion. Like many famous mythical or imaginarycharacters, it has a strong appeal that may dip now and again, but never seems todisappear. Every section of the development community — researchers, projectmanagers, trainers, information and communication specialists, and donors — has tograpple, at one time or another, with the demand to measure the impact of theiractivities, be they projects, services or funding.This book is a collection of eleven stories on impact assessment, in countries of Asia,South Pacific, Africa and Latin America. Annexes include methodological tools, such asguidelines for interviewers.51. Kjeiser, Niels . (2005). Pelican Initiative: Platform for Evidence-basedLearning & Communications for Social Change.

ALERThis book is not specifically on community radio, but on distance “educational radio”.However, it contains 10 case stories, each one with small section on evaluation andsocial impact.53. S.T. Kwame Boafo, editor. (2000) Promoting Community Media in Africa.UNESCO. Website: http://www.unesco.org/webworld/publications/community_media/The gradual liberalisation of media and a growing phenomenon of community media inAfrican countries has not been accompanied by solid steps. Many of the existing oremerging community media do not possess the economic, technical and humanresources required for sustainability. This book is the result of an international workshopwhere concepts and experiences about community radio in Africa, but also Asia andLatin America, were exchanged among participants.Although the book does not contain specific chapters on evaluation or impactassessment, it presents various case studies and considerations about the role ofcommunity participation in social change.54.

RMplays a positive role in informing the local population in and around Bukavu aboutdevelopment issues, local politics as well as coordinating NGO work. However, thelimited footprint of the radio prevents is from playing a significant role in the regionalpeace process.AMARC Community Radio Social Impact Assessment 2007 Page 117 of 128
