The creation of 'Bush Radio' in 1992 marked the beginning of a new era in community media in South Africa, with over 120 licensed community radio stations existing today, providing coverage of a wide range of subjects which are of relevance at a local level. Whilst this increased representation of community issues within the media is undoubtedly a positive trend, there is a continued underrepresentation of female community radio presenters which needs to be addressed. This project will train 12 women volunteers and staff from 12 community radio stations in South Africa in order to equip them with the necessary technical skills to produce a series of programmes focusing on women in the fields of science and engineering to be broadcast from the participants' respective stations. It will also upgrade the studio at Bush Radio, to enhance its broadcasting capacity. In attaining its goal, the project will help to improve the quality of community radio in South Africa and contribute to the goal of gender equality. OBJECTIVE To upgrade the equipment of Bush Radio's studio, thus enhancing its broadcasting capacity; and to train a group of 12 women volunteers and staff from 12 community radio stations in South Africa in order to equip them with the necessary technical skills to produce a series of programmes focusing on women in the fields of science and engineering.
