Abstract
The Cultivate Africa’s Future (CultiAF) project is working with community listener groups (CLGs) to improve interactivity and to provide a regular, reliable and near real-time feedback mechanism, and increase women’s involvement in radio broadcasts. Two hundred and forty female CLG members have been trained in Farm Radio International’s “Her Voice on Air” strategy. Over the course of the radio programs, listener engagement has increased with more female than male farmers showing interest in testing research recommendations.
