I am Rehema Ndagire, from Kampala Uganda l am a retired Farmer Program broadcaster and l have won several prizes and l have received many certificates from Farm Radio International for the many e-discussions held so far when l was still working with UBC Radio.l now practice backyard farming as well as being a Publicity and Mobilization Officer on the Parish Local Council Executive (LC ll) l am responsible for seeing to it that l help the local people with how to do income generating activities which include farming of course. I am expected to inform and assist these people to improve on their farming methods, engage them, see that they can make good use of social media to collaborate with other stakeholders to advance their projects and farming.
My hobbies include traveling, engaging with farmers, sharing experiences on social media, doing voluntary work thus putting smiles on people’s faces - that only gives me a lot of satisfaction.
I want to learn more on how collaborations can can be used to improve value chains, how farmers can have meaningful pyramidal collaborations, how collaborations can be used to build capacity and to acquire knowledge; how to collaborate with potential funders or sponsors for radio programs especially the farmers’ ones.
Happy Sunday to everyone, how was Church service today, may we see more of it in Jesus name. Olusina motiasan is my name from Ejulenen 93.7fm igbodigo, okitipupa,ondo state,Nigeria. Am a programmer,producer,presenter,reporter and news caster.One of the strategies for sustain collaboration between broadcasters and stakeholders constant and reliable farm radio program that will give room for audience participation and how to sustain this regular and constant farm radio program is another issue that needs to be address during this e- discussion
Things that broadcasters and stakeholders should keep in mind while having interview programs are; broadcasters should ready to disseminate farm information as many ad possible just to make sure they key into that program or develop strong interest (2)stakeholders should ready to learn and tap every useful information disseminated by broadcasters
