Without partnerships with such organisations, and others, the community radio movement in Africa will grow in isolation and could become impoverished as a result. Similarly, individual community radio stations can only flourish when strongly rooted in their community and linked to community organisations. This booklet has been produced with the aim of beginning to converge ideas and experiences shared by different community radio practitioners and to give a hand in setting up a community radio station.
