Notes
After trickle-down and trickle-up strategies, how about a horizontal approach, from rural community to rural community, but on a large scale? That was the underlying issue at a workshop on the role of farmers organisations and associations in the design, production and follow-up of technical information materials, organised by CTA in December 2002 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Given their special position in the rural media landscape, local radio stations were well represented among the 22 participants from West, Central and Eastern Africa and networks, as were farmers federations. Their conclusions sound audience research, and training for farmers groups to satisfy the needs of the media. Will these be followed up? If the participants energy is an indicator, then yes! They produced a daily seminar paper in French and English, got coverage in national and Internet press services, and left with a lot of homework. The star of the show? Jeanette Nelkem, from a rural radio station in Chad. She missed her plane, and travelled by road for 4 days to make it to the workshop. Cool, Jeanette.
