National Community Radio Week,

About the event

National Community Radio Week (NCRW) Programme is initiated, designed and packaged to attract developmental investment to embrace the community radio sector growth. On the 13th February every year is World Radio Day. We decided that we will celebrate this day by holding events for the whole week and call it the National Community Radio Week.

Primary objective

The project’s mandate is to;

o   Develop and build the community radio sector.

Secondary Objectives

The sector can be build and developed through a crafty implementation plan that will ensure that the following objectives are achieved;

o   Consistent marketing of the community radio sector.

o   Gratifying profit/capital to be shared amongst all participating stations.

o   Initiate job opportunities for the young, talented and unemployed.

o   Invest in skills development for people working in radio.

Why should you sponsor?

You should sponsor the project because it seeks to bridge the decline in the community Radio sector, including inability of the sector to attract brand marketing and advertising revenueThe NCRW Programme is set with the potential to emphasize the efforts of brand markets to build and grow brands.
