Rádio Comunitária do PNO
The project aims to help create a community radio in Orango National Park that will work in partnership with the the direction of the Park to promote environmental programs primarily, but also education, health, local culture. One of the other major functions of this radio will be to facilitate communication among the 16 villages of this island where there is no middle ground transportation or telephone. To ensure the sustainability of this project, the radio will work with solar panels.

Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
A local team of ten young people will be the target of several formations that will allow it to be able to (i) working with radio equipment, (ii) prepare programs on different topics (environment, education, health and culture), (iii) management financial radio, (iv) sustainability of the radio. On an island with about 2500 inhabitants and where there is only one primary school, the formation of this team is a plus for this small community.
Replication of project activities
Guinea-Bissau is the country with the most experience in Community Radio. However most are fed with gasoline generators, since the power grid does not work in the country. Rare are the radios that have solar panels. Most of the rádios have an extremely high fuel expenses. This project has not yet been replicated, because the experience of domestic enterprises in this matter it is not big.
