TYPE OF PROJECT<br />

Numerous Radios and TV of public utility situated <strong>in</strong> the z<strong>on</strong>e ACP possess their own sound and visual<br />

documents (<strong>in</strong>terviews, documentaries, reports, ficti<strong>on</strong>s, sound effects, et cetera). It is, however, generally<br />

laborious to acquire or to propose these documents <strong>on</strong> the other TV Radios because radios-televisi<strong>on</strong>s are<br />

c<strong>on</strong>fr<strong>on</strong>ted with problems of tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of staff, fil<strong>in</strong>g, c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s of preservati<strong>on</strong>, supports, send<strong>in</strong>g, etc.<br />

The objective will be to offer means of storage and exchanges of digital programs (am<strong>on</strong>g which AIME<br />

archives) by tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g computer specialists to participate <strong>in</strong> the creati<strong>on</strong> of a platform of producti<strong>on</strong>s, exchanges<br />

and preservati<strong>on</strong> of radio transmissi<strong>on</strong>s(programs) and TV for the promoti<strong>on</strong> of the freedom of expressi<strong>on</strong>. At<br />

first, the tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g will be <strong>in</strong>tended for the countries of western Africa: Burk<strong>in</strong>a Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Ivory<br />

Coast, Togo, Gu<strong>in</strong>ea and Ben<strong>in</strong>.<br />

This network would allow, besides the access to archive documents, the producti<strong>on</strong> bi or multilateral of radio<br />

transmissi<strong>on</strong>s (programs) or TV. The sound or visual elements would be sent to a maitre of work situated <strong>in</strong> <strong>on</strong>e<br />

of the countries c<strong>on</strong>nected to the network. An <strong>in</strong>ventory of files and images will be accompanied with their<br />

<strong>in</strong>formative data, would be available and updated permanently. This communicati<strong>on</strong> between members could<br />

also favor distance tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, which are <strong>in</strong> the form of texts or of files sound.<br />
