a.

Community Radio has created scope for the poor and

marginalized community to raise their own voice; it becomes
the voice for the voiceless. This neo-media outlets opened scope
to establish their rights of Information and communication in
social, political, cultural and environmental arena.
b. Scope widened for poverty reduction and sustainable
development because of the rights to raise voice of the
community and accessibility to knowledge and information.
c. Scope opened for exchange of dialogue between local elected
representatives, govt. and NGO professionals for the sake of
establishing good governance.
d. Direct linkage established between the community and the
main sectors reflected in SDGs and 7th 5-year plan.
e. Scope created for Social debate, inclusion and preservation of
cultural diversity by ensuring the inclusion of the marginalized
community.
f. Community Radio is now able to play more active role in
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) due to establishment of
effective linkage between the govt. departments and
local/rural community.

Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Community represents

the community media sector to government, industry, regulatory
bodies, media and development partners.
The Ministry of Information Government of Peoples Republic of
Bangladesh has declared Community Radio Installation, Broadcast
and Operation Policy 2008, which was the citizens expectation
since the year 1998. Accordingly, Ministry of Information has
approved 32 Community Radio Stations.
Now 17 Community Radio Stations are on-air in the country, aiming
to ensure empowerment and right to information for the rural
community. They are broadcasting altogether 135 hours program
per day on information, education, local entertainment and
development motivation activities. Around 1,000 Youth Women &
Youth are now working with those stations throughout the country
as rural broadcasters
We are observing that our radio stations are now producing
quality content by ensuring the participation of rural community
and the people from different walks of life. The programs on
disaster preparedness help millions of coastal people to save their
assets and lives.
The quality programs and the contents produced by rural youth and
youth women broadcasters have already earned recognition by
many institutions at home and abroad. Among others we can
mention the UN World Summit on the Information Society (UN
WSIS) Award 2016, Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Award,
UNFPA, UNICEF Meena, PLAN International Bangladesh/BNNRC
Girl Power, National Population Award and so on.

These programs are quite supportive to the activities

reflected in 7th 5-year plan of Government of
Bangladesh, UN World Summit on the Information
Society (UN WSIS) Action Plan, and UN Sustainable
Development Goals (UN SDGs) and UN Convention
Against Corruption (UN CAC)
The Community Radios are becoming an active ground
for organizing dialogues at rural level. These dialogues
will help the rural mass to find out their own voice and
ensure leverage their free opinion in respect of social,
economic, political, cultural and environmental issues
In this opportunity, we would like to express our sincere
gratitude to our Government, Development Partners,
Academia, Researchers, Media, CSOs and Initiators
taking interest on issue of community broadcasting for
development in Bangladesh.
We invite you to join in our STRUGGLE! We hope you
are- or will become one of our future partners for
promoting community broadcasting in Bangladesh.

The quality programs and the

contents produced by rural youth
and youth women broadcasters
have already earned recognition
by many institutions at home and
abroad. Among others we can
mention the UN World Summit on
the Information Society (UN WSIS)
Award 2016, Asia Paciic
Broadcasting Union (ABU) Award,
UNFPA, UNICEF Meena, PLAN
International Bangladesh/BNNRC
Girl Power, National Population
Award and so on.
