Mozambique

The support from the Aurora Foundation at about 46,730 USD has been fully utilised to support child-to-child media programmes in Mozambique.

The child-to-child radio programmes involve over 1,000 children and young people who interact with thousands of children across the country. UNICEF has been supporting the programme since February 2000. The 34 programmes are broadcast in 18 out of the 23 national languages and Portuguese and cover topics such as HIV prevention, child abuse and violence, health issues, education, environmental protection and entertainment.

The network has been expanding rapidly over the past couple of years. The number of children involved in the live district programmes broadcast from remote communities increased from 50,000 in 2008 to over 1,000,000 in 2010 and the number of districts reached grew from 30 to 60 over the same period. Radio Mozambique covers 75 per cent of the national territory, and the community radios cover around 70 per cent of the districts in which they are based.

The following results was achieved with the support from the Aurora Foundation:

•    350 Radio Mozambique producers and 900 FORCOM radio producers from 60 radio stations participate in the production of weekly radio programmes and debates in Portuguese and 18 local languages on the promotion of good hygiene practices and cholera prevention; malaria prevention; promotion of life skills and HIV prevention, prevention of abuse against girls.
•    Child producers in 11 Radio Mozambique provincial delegations and 50 FORCOM community radios received on-the-job training in radio production techniques and content development. These trainings benefited over 1,000 child producers, and resulted in improved quality of programmes produced.
•    Child producers from 11 provinces exchanged experiences on ways to improve the quality of programmes produced in their radio stations and have managed to reach larger audience as a result of greater community participation in the live programmes, particularly at district level.
