OMC Community Radio Project

Through a grant from the Canadian government (CIDA) Sonke is formally partnering with 12 community radio stations in six of South Africa’s provinces. Sonke has provided radio station staff with training on gender and HIV and has developed a series of One Man Can radio episode guidelines to form the basis of weekly radio shows that promote male involvement in issues relating to gender equality and HIV.

Sonke has also developed partnerships with community based organisations and local government in the communities that the radio stations serve, and has engaged with them to become more actively involved on air as well as in the communities.
