MISA Malawi invites applications from community radio stations interested in producing and airing ‘Know the Projects in Your Area’ radio programmes under a six-month Social Accountability project.
With financial support from Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), MISA Malawi is currently implementing a project titled, ‘Enhancing Social Accountability through Citizen Voices and Community Radio in Malawi’.
The project includes production of 30-minute radio programmes aimed at informing citizens on the local development projects approved for their communities. These programmes will be produced to help citizens perform their oversight functions. The programmes are also meant to help local councils and radio stations get feedback from the communities on the implementation of projects under local development funds such as Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and District Development Fund (DDF).

- Your station’s unique abilities/style in production and delivery
