To many people in Uganda, radio is the first thing in the morning and last thing in the night. Radio has become a very important tool in our day-to-day life because its a source of news, entertainment and for many, radio enables them to participate in discussions. Radio is also a very portable tool and some people admit they love it because of this fact.
TRAC FM has joined dozens of development media organisations to call on the Open Working Group to fully integrate the governance
recommendations of the UN High Level Panel of Eminent Persons Report (A New Global Partnership:
Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development) into the proposed Post-
2015 Sustainable Development Goals
“Using results from a radio poll, we engaged school managements,
parents and other CSO to start a campaign for parents supporting feeding pupils
in schools. This campaign has been well received and so far 23 schools have
taken it for candidate classes of Primary Six and Seven” John Silco the
Director RICNET said.
TRAC FM teams up with Farm Radio International and HarvestPlus to raise awareness about the importance of consuming Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSPs) among Ugandans, by putting the power of interactive radio drama to work.
TRAC FM is very thankful for the awarded grant from The Indigo Trust, a trust which mainly focuses on innovation, transparency and citizen empowerment.
TRAC FM is honored to be selected for the Data Journalism Awards under the category "Data-driven applications, national/international".
