[AfrICANN-discuss] THE FIRST COMMUNITY NETWORK AND COMMUNITY RADIO WORKSHOP IN TANZANIA

[Matogoro Jabera]

 Dear Colleagues,

The first community network and community radio workshop was held in
Dodoma, Tanzania from 5th – 7th December 2018. The workshop was designed to
bring together various stakeholders supporting the community network and
community radio in Tanzania and beyond. Community established networks also
referred to as “Community Networks” (CN) have existed for many years and,
provide a sustainable solution to address the connectivity gaps that exist
in urban, remote, and rural areas around the world. Similarly, community
broadcasters also referred as “Community Radios (CR)” can be generally
defined as those which are independent, not-for-profit, and governed by and
in the service of the communities they serve.

The objective of the workshop was to promote the creation and growth of
Community Networks and Community Radio thereby increase collaboration among
operators working in these areas in Tanzania. Workshop participants also
discussed the role of the community network and community radio towards
Industrialized Economy. The workshop was planned to be an annual event
bringing together various stakeholders working in the area of the community
network and community radio in Tanzania and beyond.
