Expanding Access to Information, Education and Civic Engagement: The Case for Establishing Community Radios in Somaliland

Series One of Spotlight on The Media
Publication Date
Radio remains Africa s most accessible form of media, particularly for those outside urban areas.

An innovative and unique partnership: WHO, Sweden and Somalia work together to improve health outcomes for all Somalis - Afrik-news.com : Africa news, Maghreb news

Somalia’s health indicators, especially for women and children rank among the lowest in the world.
