Farm Radio Services in Malawi

Farm Radio Services in Malawi explores the media and communication landscape in Malawi to bring out the quality and quantity of media personnel, production houses, radio station and their programmes, telephone and internet service providers, insurance and financial institutions, and farmer organisations. It explains how these relate to the smallholder agriculture industry in Malawi; a country where radio is the most ubiquitous and significant source information on health, agriculture, nutrition, education and human rights, among other development issues. The study was sponsored by Farm Radio Malawi with financial assistance from the American Institutes for Research (AIR) through the Farmer Voice Radio (FVR) project. It has been hailed as the first of its kind and one of the most illuminating studies ever undertaken in the area of farm radio in Malawi.
