Community Radio Performance Assessment System (CR-PAS)
by Raghu Mainali, Yadab Chapagain and Bikram Subba

Available online at http://www.nefej.org/pdf/crpa_book.pdf

After 12 years of the establishment of community radios in Nepal, community radio movement now is in its crossroads. Some radios are moving on the way of politicization, some others towards commercialization, some are NGOisation and some are on the way to real community radio.

Because of the ambiguity in the classification of community radios and emerging new trends within the Nepali radio movement, it is facing the problem as to which radios to be provided support, which one to be given priority and whose request to ignore. And community radios themself do not have a roadmap where to go.

With a view to address this concern, the Community RadioSupport Centre (CRSC) has developed a tool ­ Community Radio Performance Assessment System (CR-PAS) manual in Nepal. The manual describes the tool and the system of assessment.



Community Radio Support Centre (CRSC) Publications

The CRSC has over the years come up with topical books and manuals with the objective of further consolidating community radio and their performance with the support of Free Voice, the Netherlands. While some have been rendered into the English language given their global relevance, others are available in Nepali and have been listed below in PDF format all for free downloading.

The strategy is aimed at producing books and reference materials for community radio journalists, managers and leadership in the form code of conduct, production manual which cover fundamental dynamic of community radio and include strategic plan, organizational development, sustainability, technical aspect and benchmarking of community radio stations.
