Community Engagement Meetings foster community rootedness.
Through ZACRAS sponsored community engagement meetings, community radios have been able to bring together community leaders together with the community to discuss issues affecting communities
Research based interventions key to continuous improvement of community radio stations
We strive to continuously improve community radio stations through continuous learning. That is why we continuously seek new knowledge through research and documentation
Quality Programming for community radio journalists
ZACRAS has, over the years, sought to enhance skills of community radio journalists by continuously equipping them with technical and conceptual skills to enhance their programming
Amplifying the voices of women and girls
ZACRAS conducted a training on Gender Based Violence on community leaders at a venue in Kwekwe.
The purpose of the training was to strengthen community leaders’ knowledge on GBV. In attendance were participants who were representatives from different districts and community radio stations and community gender champions.
These were drawn from Ntepe-Manama FM, Kasambezi FM, Nhimbe CRI, Twasumpuka FM, Nyangani FM and Community Radio Harare.
The training session was facilitated by a consultant who was selected after a thorough selection process
Community Radio Pilot Research Now Available
ZACRAS with support from UNESCO conducted a pilot research to inform the establishment of a community radio framework for Zimbabwe drawing from lessons learnt since February 2020 when Government made calls to those wishing to establish community radios to date.
This Study will inform the future processes around community radios. The research findings fed into the proposed community radio framework which speaks to various thematic issues around setting up, operationalisation and sustainability of community and campus radio stations.
