The Child-to-Child radio network: a centre for Portuguese-speaking countries, exchanging programmes with Angola and Brazil (updated information can be found in current activities)
Child-to-Child radio was initiated in Mozambique in the 1990s. UNICEF has been working in partnership with the Radio Mozambique (RM) Child-to-Child Radio (CTCR) Programme since February 2000. The programme aims at involving children in programme design and production, and it addresses different issues, namely child rights, HIV and AIDS awareness and health in general, child sexual abuse, environmental protection and entertainment. The programme is broadcast in about 24 national languages and Portuguese and is currently operating in all RM Provincial delegations throughout the country.
These programmes are part of the Child-to-Child radio network, which includes radio stations in Angola and Brazil. The network exchanges music and programmes on child rights, HIV and AIDS, child labour, racial discrimination, and protection of the environment. Live and recorded programmes conducted by children are broadcast daily with efforts under way to expand the network at the national level to public television and community radio.
In Cabo Delgado province the programme was restructured in January 2004 counting now on a team of 20 children and one Coordinator, who is a staff member and is currently being trained by the RM Pemba.
Child-to-Child radio is widely used to spread awareness of new issues and policies as in the cholera epidemic in 2003. There are frequent descriptions and reports on the web.
