Community Radio

PLATFORM

RURAL PEOPLE

a. Community Radio has created scope for the poor and marginalized community to raise their own voice; it becomes the voice for the voiceless. This neo-media outlets opened scope to establish their rights of Information and communication in social, political, cultural and environmental arena. b. Scope widened for poverty reduction and sustainable development because of the rights to raise voice of the community and accessibility to knowledge and information. c. Scope opened for exchange of dialogue between local elected representatives, govt. and NGO professionals for the sake of establishing good governance. d. Direct linkage established between the community and the main sectors reflected in SDGs and 7th 5-year plan. e. Scope created for Social debate, inclusion and preservation of cultural diversity by ensuring the inclusion of the marginalized community. f. Community Radio is now able to play more active role in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) due to establishment of effective linkage between the govt. departments and local/rural community.

Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Community represents the community media sector to government, industry, regulatory bodies, media and development partners. The Ministry of Information Government of People’s Republic of Bangladesh has declared Community Radio Installation, Broadcast and Operation Policy 2008, which was the citizens’ expectation since the year 1998. Accordingly, Ministry of Information has approved 32 Community Radio Stations. Now 17 Community Radio Stations are on-air in the country, aiming to ensure empowerment and right to information for the rural community. They are broadcasting altogether 135 hours program per day on information, education, local entertainment and development motivation activities. Around 1,000 Youth Women & Youth are now working with those stations throughout the country as rural broadcasters We are observing that our radio stations are now producing quality content by ensuring the participation of rural community and the people from different walks of life. The programs on disaster preparedness help millions of coastal people to save their assets and lives. The quality programs and the contents produced by rural youth and youth women broadcasters have already earned recognition by many institutions at home and abroad. Among others we can mention the UN World Summit on the Information Society (UN WSIS) Award 2016, Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Award, UNFPA, UNICEF Meena, PLAN International Bangladesh/BNNRC Girl Power, National Population Award and so on.

These programs are quite supportive to the activities reflected in 7th 5-year plan of Government of Bangladesh, UN World Summit on the Information Society (UN WSIS) Action Plan, and UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and UN Convention Against Corruption (UN CAC) The Community Radios are becoming an active ground for organizing dialogues at rural level. These dialogues will help the rural mass to find out their own voice and ensure leverage their free opinion in respect of social, economic, political, cultural and environmental issues In this opportunity, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Government, Development Partners, Academia, Researchers, Media, CSOs and Initiators taking interest on issue of community broadcasting for development in Bangladesh. We invite you to join in our STRUGGLE! We hope you are- or will become one of our future partners for promoting community broadcasting in Bangladesh.

The quality programs and the contents produced by rural youth and youth women broadcasters have already earned recognition by many institutions at home and abroad.
