Using Participatory Radio to Support Climate Change Resilience
Description
In the face of climate change, access to relevant, timely and actionable information is fundamental to ensuring that rural communities can adapt and thrive. Working in partnership with the Walker Institute in Ghana and Uganda, the Lorna Young Foundation’s participatory radio model, Farmers’ Voice Radio, has increased understanding about how drought and flood-prone communities are experiencing climate change and provided a platform for the exchange of information on successful resilience strategies. The policy briefing note provides an overview of the Farmers’ Voice Radio key principles and methodology, and shares some of the changes in knowledge, attitudes and practice that have resulted from the radio programmes – ultimately concluding that community voice must be central to this kind of communication for development intervention if lasting change is to be achieved.
