The project was implemented by the Kenya Community Media Network (KCOMNET) with the financial support of International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC).

It targeted the following five community radio stations: Radio Mang’elete, Mug’ambo FM, Sauti – Hundhwe FM, Mwanedu FM and Koch FM. The stations worked with theatre groups and artists to identify priority issues affecting their communities and from which a series of drama shows were produced.

The project commenced with a five days training and content development workshop in Nairobi on October 22 – 26, 2012. The workshop aimed at equipping community media groups with professional skills for the production and sharing of locally relevant content, so as to inform and engage community members in debates on issues of importance to the community and nationally.

The workshop was followed up by on-site visits to the five locations served by the community radio stations to mentor, monitor and evaluate content sharing.  Some of collaborations established by community radio stations in the project included:
