[kictanet] [Fwd: Fwd: FW: first announcement/ radio script writing competition]

[alice]

  Dear All,
> Developing Countries Farm Radio Network <http://www.farmradio.org/> 
> (DCFRN) and CTA <http://www.cta.int/> will soon launch a scriptwriting 
> competition entitled African Farmers Strategies for Coping with 
> Climate Change for African radio practitioners (broadcasters, 
> production organizations, NGOs with a radio project, farmers 
> associations with a radio show etc.).
>
>  
>
> Climate change is having a major impact on smallholder farmers in ACP 
> countries and farmers urgently need information to help them 
> understand climate change, the ways it might affect them, and how they 
> can adapt their resource management strategies to reduce global 
> warming and mitigate its negative effects.
>
> Radio, as we know, is one of the most effective media for providing 
> rural communities in Africa with information but the capacity of the 
> stations in writing relevant scripts is also limited. This competition 
> serves both purposes of better sharing information and strengthening 
> the capacity of rural radio broadcasters.
>
>  
>
> Competitors will be invited to submit a radio script on themes related 
> to local adaptation to climate change under various formats (audio 
> interview, spots, discussion between two hosts, drama, stories). The 
> scripts will be reviewed by an international panel of judges. The 
> winners will be announced in May 2008 and the top 15 entries will 
> receive audio recorders and be published by CTA and DCFRN. But one of 
> the most important aspect of the capacity building process is that all 
> entrants will receive feedback on their scripts.
>
>  
>
> We plan to widely communicate amongst the radio community in Africa 
> and amongst those who work with/ for this community (Media network, 
> African radio broadcasters, Development organisations such as Deutsche 
> Welle, radio Nederland...).
>
>  
>
> Thanks for your kind help to help us disseminating the announcement 
> amongst the radio community in Africa (_let us know if you need a 
> certain format to communicate on the initiative_).

> Best regards
