During the life time of the Media Development Project, a number of publications have been produced. In some cases these have been created to inform our own strategic choices, in others to reflect important activities that we have organised and in all cases to inspire informed, constructive and sustainable media development activities in Mozambique.

All publications presented below are produced by the Media Project and copies can be obtained by contacting us. We encourage any use of our publications, but request that reference is made to the source: The UNESCO/UNDP Media Development Project in Mozambique and that a link is provided to our home page. At the same time we should remind readers and users that opinions expressed in the project publications do not necessarily reflect overall UNESCO opinion and policy. 

We have also established a partmership with SAMDEF (Southern African Media Development Fund), and one the results is our translation into Portuguese of the set of six SAMDEF Media Managment Manuals. These manuals will be used by us and SAMDEF in our joint plans to strengthen the important management capacity of the Mozambican Media. 


The Media Pluralism Landscape study was prepared very early in the life of the project to provide an accurate overview of the media in Mozambique, the human and technical capacity available, and to present a map of where in Mozambique which media are available.

Sustainability, impact, pluralism and gender are among the cross cutting issues raised all through this exiting study, presenting the facts, and assessing analytically their significance.

The study ends with a set of concrete recommendations with operational implementation details and proposals to assist anyone interested in taking part in the support of the important development of the media, of the pluralism and diversity and the independence of the media.

Together we are changing our lives is a book on our Process Coach Concept and Scheme developed as a methodology to effectively ensure extensive and intensive community training and involvement in the groups of volunteer programmers of the stations.

The book is based on the around 100 monthly reports from the (now) nine coaches working every weekend with the communities, developing community radio policies and regulations, building strong community control structures around the station, and learning how to identify burning community issues and turn them into adequate, useful programs in the local languages.

Will be available in Portuguese and English.

 
 

On Air - Legally is a brochure on how to get a sending permission and a frequency for the community radio. Not self-evident as 'community media' as a concept does not exists in the national legislation, and it requires the combination of three different laws, and a rather complicated application procedure.
