TRRAACE gathers useful information and resources for the benefit of associative, rural, local and community radio stations in Africa. It makes the information available and accessible to radios in Africa to facilitate and reinforce their work and performance. It proposes an annotated presentation, and when applicable, a link to the respective Internet site, about:

• Radio networks
  -African networks of associative, rural, local and community; radios stations.

Technology

TRRAACE believes numerous resources for associative, local, rural and community radio stations exist, but they are scattered. It says many hours are spent on the Internet to find something, often in vain. “TRRAACE aims to save a lot of time by gathering all the information on one site.” TRRAACE selects the information independently.
