[ecrea] Survey Report: Community Participation at Local and Community Radio Stations

   Survey Report: Community Participation at Local and Community Radio
   Stations

Participation of the community is an important feature of almost all 
stations responding to a survey, conducted by CAMECO to examine and gain 
a deeper understanding of concrete practices and challenges of community 
and local radios. The explorative survey showed that in all world 
regions, community involvement in programming is strongest. 
Participation in management, ownership and funding are less common.
Whereas the ranking of the various areas of participation is similar 
throughout the regions, differences exist in their importance: Latin 
American radios top participation in programming, but they are far below 
average in management and ownership. In Africa, the level of 
participation in financing and ownership is comparatively high. In Asia, 
participation in management plays a crucial role.

The findings of the three explorative surveys, conducted by CAMECO 
between September 2011 and January 2012, among radio stations in Africa, 
Asia, Latin America and the Pacific, should by no means be considered 
representative, but will serve as a basis for further in-depth research, 
leading to a practice oriented publication, as part of the CAMECO 
“Practice Series”.
