Initiatives for Media Development

Our Podcasts The Initiatives for Media Development podcasts range from health accountability issues, womens health, women in politics, violence against women in elections, children's rights, migration , human trafficking, to Covid-19, amongst other topics. These audios provide powerful examples of human rights issues in Sierra Leone.

We have an impressive archive of podcasts and radio programs which have had significant uptake by community and policy leaders. We are trusted by our listeners and have proven effective results in improving the lives of Sierra Leoneans. Through our collaboration with 40 community radio stations and 160 listener clubs members across Sierra Leone, we have introduced a scaleable model to our podcasts.
