| Contesto |
In the face of upcoming political and security transitions, preventing economic regression is critical to maintain social gains seen in recent years. Given the persevering poverty in Afghanistan more is needed to focus on long term sustainable economic development including efforts that engage women and youth. For some 30% of Afghans, getting enough food is a constant struggle. The challenge is amplified by rising food prices. Afghanistan has the world’s highest rate of stunting in children under five. Likewise, availability of sufficient water for domestic and agricultural use continues to be a serious struggle for most Afghans. Radio still is the most utilized media in rural Afghanistan. It makes a real difference in raising awareness about development challenges and in changing behavior. |
| Obiettivi |
To enable families to make informed decisions for improving their living conditions |
| Gruppi target |
AEPO programming reaches both rural and urban audiences. Around 8.2 million Afghan adults (aged 15 and older) listen to one or more of AEPO’s drama and feature programs through the BBC World Service - about 39% of the Afghan adult population. BBC has a nationwide broadcasting. Its audiences are high in some of the provinces, such as Kandahar, Helmand, Paktya and Khost, where the security situation makes field work difficult. Hence, people do not have other alternatives to receive information and gain knowledge than through media. |

Risultati fasi precedenti: Afghan Education Production Organization (AEPO) programs have educated and raised awareness levels of Afghan people, particularly the illiterate, in topics such as health, agriculture/farming, and conflict resolution. For example, 65% of AEPO listeners reported awareness, about HIV/AIDS and 57% (baseline 27%) about a woman’s right to choose whom to marry. |
