He answered questions raised by the young journalists on children’s specific vulnerability, on HIV/AIDS and on orphans.

Goal 7: Ensure Environmental sustainability

Using audio and video to capture their local problems
To enable members of a community to acknowledge their human capacity and address common mental health problems in order to improve their social, economic, cultural and ecological environment.

The community use audio and video to capture their local problems (on mental health) and feed the outputs back to the community via loudspeakers, radio, cable television.

This case makes interesting use of audio and video technology to empower local communities. While it is not using the latest technology it is proving how ICTs can give a voice to a community and bring a community to a common understanding of their problems.

Programs broadcast have covered religion, health, political (land rights and updates on the community’s on-going court battles), education and entertainment. Future programs plan to address substance abuse and domestic violence.
