Themes:
Democratization, information communication technology
Project Goal:
The primary goal of the radio service is to link the ongoing peace process and peace building efforts with initiatives that engender good governance and deepen the participation of southern Sudanese in affairs that most affect them. The station will increase access to balanced and useful information through programs of information, education, and entertainment chosen to equip listeners with knowledge and tools to participate more fully in peace making, reconciliation, and national development. Efforts will be made to create occasional programming in all the languages of southern Sudan, but regular programming will target speakers of Dinka, Bari, Juba-Arabic, and English.
