AMARC Africa: AMARC is a French acronym which stands for the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters. AMARC is a non-profit international organisation serving the community radio movement since 1983. AMARC’s goal is to promote the right to communicate and contribute to the development of community radio, along principles of solidarity and international cooperation. AMARC membership in Africa currently amounts to over 200 affiliates, out of which more than 160 are radio stations, community radio federations, or projects to establish community radio stations. The Panos Institute Southern Africa : specialises in information and communications for sustainable development. Panos believes that radio is still the most accessible of mass media, especially for rural people in Africa. The organisation is striving to democratise the airwaves, working with governments and others on national broadcasting policies as well as with community groups on the ground to support them in producing and generating their own programmes and channels of communication. The publication of this booklet has been made possible through programme support from IBIS / Interfund to AMARC Africa and from the Royal Ministry of Foreign Affairs Denmark to Panos Southern Africa. The World Association of Christian Communication (WACC) also provided financial support towards this publication. WACC gives high priority to Christian values in communication and development needs. The association’s members include corporate and individual communication professionals, partners in communication activities and representatives of churches and agencies. WACC focuses on the needs of Christian communicators, provides a forum for discussion, funds ecumenical communication activities and encourages unity among religious communicators. 3 What is Community Radio?
