Thanks Rehema

We all play an important role here. Without the participants, there would be no discussion.

I am also looking forward to the wonderful meals that will be cooked here.

Mawerere, in actual fact I agree with you that media may be a frustrating job-sometimes. But if you know how many lives you have touched through your work you will really thank God. In these days of the global village made possible by I.T.s I don’t even think of the so-called mainstream as far as media is concerned. I think more of effective reach to farmer audiences. When I collaborate with folksingers in the rural areas my radio messages on aspects of farming are really drummed out far and wide. The so-called mainstream should not discourage you. You will only need the freedom to be at your best, especially if funds are easy to come by though collaboration.

Hi! sachiangutsav,

Thanks for reading and contributing as well. Yes, am related to Achanyi Fontem. He is in French Cameroon - Douala while am in Southern British Cameroon, Buea-Mt. Fako. Striving with my own activities.

Yes, i remember of this Commonwealth of learning conference which held in Abuja - Nigeria back in 2013. A year before this event, i was just return back home from Arusha -Tanzania FRI regional Radio-ict-officers training.

Oops! am glad you still were able to see the questions of this week and contributed. Please just endeavour to see that you check every start of the week, mid-week and weekend. In this way you would hardly miss out on the brilliant talks going on in our e-discussion.

Lets keep posting to bring out the prons and cons of collaboration. To help reshape how broadcasters and stakeholders collaborate.

Would “you” for whatever reason work like an elephant and eat like an ant? Because you wish to sustain collaboration of farmer programs between broadcasters and stakeholders? Check week 4 duscussion topic question and give your contribution.

Peace!

How can ideas generated or contributed in e - discussion forums be used to raise funds to support those involved in creating awareness to farmers using radio and telephone?

@mikepac715. A very nice and interesting question worth discussing on this platform before it closes at the end of November 2019.
This would demand a thorough review and analysis of the contributions of participants to gather the most impactful points, contributions, and experiences.
The issues that reflect hindrance to an effective radio broadcast and program, for example, gender, capacity building and logistics like recording equipment, mobiles and air time could be used to develop a project proposal. It could be highlighted that in the proposal the methodology used to get the information emphasizing it represents views of broadcasters, farmers, FBOs, etc. on the platform during a month’s long e-discussion forum.
The statistics I often see on the platform could be used to provide a pictorial representation, countries of participants and common issues identified. Any stakeholder could be contacted and given the proposal for support.
Crowdfunding could also be used to raise funds by developing an interesting short and impactful story to raise funds to support radio broadcast of farmer programs from these discussions.

#35

Thanks Yakubu for polishing, your suggestions adds more weight to this our future discussion. Time has been a limiting factor in our 2019 e - discussion lets hope this features next year 2020.

#36

As we conclude the week four discussion, I would like to use this opportunity to thank Farm Radio International, our facilitators and all participants for their contributions. The discussion put in reality the words-out of mind does not mean out of mind. Lets keep in touch. May the Lord bless all of you in abundance.
Rashid Muzungyo from Kapchorwa Trinity Radio in eastern Uganda.
