AMARC Publishes Findings on Global Evaluation
of Community Radio Social Impact


The World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, AMARC published on
its website today, "Community Radio Social Impact Assessment: Removing
barriers, Increasing Effectiveness". To download and read the document,
please go to: http://evaluation.amarc.org

The publication contains the key findings of the participatory
action-research process conducted by AMARC in 2006, seeking to identify the
barriers that limit the potential positive impact of community radio and
explore ways to increase the effectiveness of community radio in achieving
poverty reduction, development objectives, inclusiveness and democracy
building in local communities.

The last AMARC 9 World Conference of Community Radio Broadcasters held in
Amman Jordan in November 2006, (see: http://amarc9.amarc.org ) received the
first findings of the evaluation process and defined strategic lines of
action for 2007-2010 seeking to reinforce the CR movement by removing
barriers and establishing conditions for increasing its effectiveness. This
book seeks to share the evaluation process findings and contribute to
increased debate and awareness on CR social impact.
