About the Project

UNESCO's "Empowering Local Radio with ICTs" project, supported by Sweden, strengthened the capacities of 32 local radios from 2012 until end of 2014 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia. Due to its success, the project was scaled-up for a second phase to benefit a further 26 local radio stations in Burundi, the DRC, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda until 2018.
