Panos Southern Africa: Zambia Radio Clubs evaluation report, Oct 2001

Stimulating debate

Many illustrations of how the programmes have stimulated debate within the clubs, in the communities and more widely have already been mentioned. Topics include agriculture, nutrition and balanced diets, gender equality, protection against HIV/AIDS, political rights and processes, the inheritance law, traditional customs, care of children, care of orphans, education and its cost. People were mentioned as discussing the programmes at home and in drinking places. “When we meet people from other villages, for instance at church, people always talk about the programme that was on - ‘Did you hear the programme? It was very interesting.' And a lot of people, even if they have gone to the gardens or something on Saturday, they make sure they are back in time to hear the programme.”
