Voices of change: strategic radio support for achieving the MDGs (pdf 340kb)

This UK Department for International Development (DFID) report provides a summary of the scope of radio's involvement and its potential and actual impact in fulfilling the broader goals and targets of the United Nations Millennium Declaration.

It challenges DFID and other donors to increase support to the radio sector, which for many poor men, women and children in the developing world continues to provide the essential information lifeline.

The paper highlights:
- The relevance of radio in poor communities
- Its broad applicability to a range of sectoral activities such as health, rights, education, livelihoods and conflict prevention
- Identifies the need to deepen the capacity of radio broadcasters to conduct effective monitoring and evaluation
