Ghana's media landscape has witnessed a proliferation of media houses in the past twenty years, with the country now boasting over 130 FM radio stations, 16 TV channels and over 300 newspapers. Unfortunately however, many of these media houses are dominated by commercialism and political agendas, and tend to lack plurality in terms of content and orientation. Community radios by contrast, are not driven by profit and propaganda, and therefore have the potential to change lives through better and increased access to information of social significance. This project aims to provide the necessary equipment to upgrade the production capacity of the community radio station, 'Radio Builsa', and to provide training over a five-day period to a group of 60 radio station volunteers and managers. It will result in the production and broadcasting of two new programmes promoting community participation in public discourse, as well as two programmes to create a platform for engagement between community members and elected representatives, thus leading to increased accountability and community involvement among leaders. In achieving its goal, this project will help to empower the people of the Builsa District (who presently suffer from low literacy and limited access to information), by providing them with the means to make informed decisions in the choice of leaders and participate in democratic debate. OBJECTIVE To provide the necessary equipment to upgrade the production capacity of the community radio station, 'Radio Builsa', and to provide training to 60 radio station volunteers and managers in order to produce broadcasting content which promotes community participation in democratic debate.
