My name is Afiiwo Kutajera Alfred working with Nabiina Radio located in Navrongo in the upper east region of Ghana.
I produce and present Agric programmers for ten years now and my focus area is always to ensure that rural farmers have the right information on good agronomic practices that would make their farming activities profitable to them. I produce programmes on farming innovation with new technologies that will increase efficiency and reduce production cost for farmers.
I do also engage local experience rural farmers with indigenous knowledge that is still relevant within the eara of modernisation to share the thoughts with other farmers.
To make agriculture more profitable and sweetable for farmers, it is very important that there should be a deliberate collaboration with all stakeholders in the Agric value chain system to ensure that the sector is profitable.
I am looking forward to this stakeholder collaboration course hoping to learn a lot from you all.
I fell good to be here.

Hello Alfred @kutajera
Welcome to the discussion. We are happy to have you here. We trust you will share your experiences on program production.
What is your favourite hobby?
I am Richard from Northern Uganda, good to be here.
My name is Clement Shema. I am a Malawian by nationality, living in Lilongwe, Malawi. I am currently not working with a radio station, rather am working with Farm Radio Trust, an organization that is working with different radio stations. At Farm Radio Trust, I work as Radio Programming Specialist.
In my role at Farm Radio Trust for about 10 years, I have worked with national public and private broadcasting stations, regional and community radio stations. I have had an opportunity of training broadcasters in agricultural and other development programming targeting a wide range of audience by location and age.
One of the funny adverts I heard on radio was to do with two friends who went to watch a soccer much. One of them jumped in jubilation and his friend was wondering why the excitement. The jubilating friend responded that their team had scored. The other person bursted into jubilation celebrating the goal mentioning the name of the team that had scored but at this point the other team (opposing) was almost scoring. At this point his friend was surprised that he did not do that immediately after their team had scored. He asked his friend why, and he explained that he had problems with his eyes. His friend gave him Vitamin A Orange Maize. Boom! He jumped in jubilation that he could see clearly.
This was funny to me because the impact was instant which is not true. I felt it was more like a magic or a miracle, too much and too short a space for maize to have on a human being instantly.
Hello Richard @eko
We are delighted to have you here. Since this discussion is about collaboration between stakeholders and broadcasters, do you have any specific topic in mind around collaboration that you would like to discuss with others? What is your favourite hobby?
Hello Clement
We are happy to have you here. 
I laughed reading about the advert you shared. radio does a lot of things to different people. It makes one think and brings hope for some. For those in marketing, they have a bigger task to bring in something extra-ordinary to attract listeners attention to the product. I can imagine a number of older people with poor eyesight going for Vitamin A Orange Maize for instant results.
Enjoy the discussion!
Broadcaster and stakeholders should have it in mind that their interview program much impact new innovation to their life
Good relationship and fundings are the main strategy to sustain radio program with stakeholders but to arrive at this are very differs
Hello wonderful people
My name is Mr. Ireti Emmanuel Adesida; I’m presently running an Agricultural communication Ph.D. research with focus on mobile information sources and access to farm inputs by farmers.
I recently founded an agricultural communication project tagged ‘Food Gist’ which is a food discourse platform focused on deploying more sustainable ICT tools in providing unhindered access to agricultural information and learning facilities amongst farmers. You can check us out on Twitter @foodgisthub, and we welcome collaborations. We are passionate about addressing issues surrounding SDG 2 by fighting hunger and ensuring food security.
I also present a weekly radio program on FUTA Radio 93.1FM in Nigeria. I have also produced some agricultural communication videos.
My hobbies are community engagement, social media engagement, video production, and watching storytelling videos. I hope these hobbies are not strange 
Looking forward to sustainable collaborations.

Hi everyone,
Peace greetings.
I am Pr. Lazarus Laiser a Maasai from Arusha a garden of Eden, and the land of Kilimanjaro Tanzania. I am working with Farm Radio International Tanzania Office, as the Project Officer.
My interests and hobby are in tourism, swimming etc.
My experience in media is from 1995 and focused on spiritual and agricultural radio programs production and broadcast. My aim from that time to date is to serve small scale farmers and pastoralists who seems to be forgotten in poor life. It is true there is a big challenge with collaboration especially developmental programs like agriculture.
Looking forward for way forward on this matter
Thank you
Its time to see what can be done to catalyses this to happen.
