Rural Radio
Programme
Aimed at strengthening the links between extension workers and farmers,
promoting knowledge-sharing between farmers, and addressing the problem
of illiteracy, CTA's Rural Radio Resource Pack (RRRP) project is designed
to encourage the use of rural radio to disseminate scientific and technical
information. The people benefiting from the project include rural radio
programme producers and managers, extension workers and farmers.
Five RRRPs are produced every year. Each one contains:
- a list of the contents of the pack and an explanatory letter;
- a 30-minute cassette and a copy of this text on a CD-ROM;
- a transcript of the interviews on the cassette;
- an introduction page to each interview, for the presenter;
- printed documents such as Spore/Esporo articles or CTA brochures
on the topic of the RRRP;
- a questionnaire and an envelope addressed to CTA, to encourage
feedback from the users.

The selection of RRRP topics is based on suggestions from project beneficiaries
and on issues given high priority by CTA partners. By the end of 2001
some 40 topics had been covered. A further five were prepared in 2002.
These are shown in the box below.
