The Radio for Peacebuilding Awards 2006 seeks to recognise radio programmes that contribute to peace in Africa. These are programmes that reduce tensions in groups and communities, programmes that enhance and value shared interests, that breakdown listener stereotypes, and that provide positive role models.

• Drama (dramas, soap operas, sketches, etc.)
