TRAC FM worked with Light for the World (LFTW) on an interactive radio campaign to raise awareness and assess the impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic on the livelihood of persons living with disabilities in Uganda.
In 2019, TRAC FM collaborated with the implementing partners of the Watershed programme in Rwenzori sub-region - HEWASA, Simavi and IRC to raise awareness about water, sanitation and hygiene and collect citizen feedback. This campaign was dubbed Wottazela 3.0. Wottazela 4.0 is a follow-up campaign to build our success in empowering citizens and deepen our learning.
TRAC FM's 5th Wottazela Campaign landed in Kenya! We looked at citizens' perspectives on water provision in Kajiado County in Southern Kenya. Together with partners of the Watershed Programme – Simavi, NIA, KEWASNET, IRC and Akvo - we launched this campaign to understand what local citizens of the Maasai community have to say about Water.
TRAC FM's water campaigns under the name 'Wottazela' has successfully provided the Dutch Watershed program with citizen feedback on water provision. Wottazela 3.0 ran under the Watershed programme in collaboration with
HEWASA, Simavi, IRC and Radio Jubilee in Fort Portal, Uganda. The campaign
aimed to retrieve citizen feedback in Kabarole District through radio shows
and poll questions about the governance and management of water,
sanitation and hygiene services as well as of the water resources in
communities. This campaign gathered more evidence-based feedback
which is needed for effective dialogue within the Watershed programme.
TRAC FM has partnered with the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI), National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) and International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) to run a radio campaign aimed at disseminating Information on good farming practices that support increased banana productivity.
TRAC FM is working with Environmental Alert and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Uganda Office to implement a data-driven advocacy radio campaign on promoting the use of efficient, clean cooking and lighting alternatives at national level; and in at least 20 districts in the Albertine Graben.
Building on the achievements of the Common Matters 1 program,
this year, TRAC FM is pleased to introduce the Common Matters 2
program. In this program, TRAC FM will work with 3 CSO partners and 10 radio stations across Uganda over a period of 2 years.
"To be effective we must listen to people (...) using for example TRAC FM to conduct country-wide citizen centred interactive radio polls."
