> 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.

> 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
