Recovery and stabilization in Central African Republic, mediasAs part of the Relèvement et stabilisation en Centrafrique project run by Expertise France, within which CFI manages media aspects, in partnership with the ARC, technical support is being given to Radio Zoukpana in Berberati, which is now able to broadcast to the region as a whole.
Radio Zoukpana is extending the area of its broadcasts to communities in the Mambere Kadeï prefecture.
After technical refurbishment of the Radio Zoukpana premises in Berberati, the ARC
technical team continued out into the field to set up two new relay stations at Sosso-Nakombo and Gamboula.
A third relay station is scheduled to be installed in the Carnot locality during the month of March.
Residents of these three places will henceforth be able to listen to Radio Zoukpana without the need to extend their aerials.
By thus broadening its coverage to remote, vulnerable areas, the station is boosting its presence and impact amongst rural populations in the region, where listeners can now have improved access to news and information.
The
Relèvement et Stabilisation project is the initiative of Expertise France in CAR and is funded by Fonds Bêkou. CFI is managing media aspects of the project in collaboration with the ARC [Central African Republic Community Radios Association].
