Civic Education via Radio for Southern Sudan
In partnership with the National Democratic Institute (NDI), EDC's Sudan Radio Service has developed a new civic education radio series that will increase listeners' knowledge of political developments and also promote increased discussion of political developments, tolerance of diverse viewpoints, and non-violent solutions to complex problems. The series, entitled "Let's Talk," is a weekly, 30-minute, multi-segment program produced in English and several Sudanese languages. The programs include discussion segments, dramas to reflect current issues and viewpoints, education series, and a special "Virtual National Dialogue" segment that uses interviews with citizens from across Sudan to accurately convey the pulse of southern Sudanese views about the peace process.
Duration: 2006 to 2009
