Change Radio: A Radio Script

This publication provides news and features on environment and development issues in the form of radio scripts. The publication was first started in 1997 as an environmental monthly, called 'WWF Radio', under the auspices of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). When Communication For Change took over the publication in 1998, it broadened its focus to include development issues - including articles on health, labour, agriculture, human rights, gender, communications and technology.

Communication For Change produces the script in English and translates it in to Nigeria's three main ethnic languages, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. Change Radio is also available in French for distribution in West Africa which is mostly French speaking. The publication is sent to all radio stations in Nigeria, Africa related organisations in sub-saharan Africa, Europe and the United States, as well as to radio stations and contacts in West Africa.

Some of the issues discussed are HIV/AIDS in Africa; micro-credit as an engine for growth in developing countries; international women's conferences in Namibia and New York; pollution and global warming; violence against women; children and women's rights; the trade of endangered species; ethno-botany; press freedom awards; and development broadcasting.
