Promoting Education and Livelihood Improvement.

Promoting Communication and Information Sharing.

The Community Radio serves as an important link between the Community and Government and as such, is promoting the other sectors very well. Through its strategy of communal listenership, more than 100 communities have formed listeners clubs across south Western Uganda.

Promoting Decentralization and Local Governance.

The activities of Community Radio have given further meaning to decentralization and local governance. An appropriate medium has been created to facilitate an interface between duty bearers and rights holders, especially for the people in the districts of south Western Uganda.

Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation.

There is an increasing body of evidence indicating that the world’s climate is changing at a fast rate, threatening the world's environmental, social and economic development. Global warming has led to rising average global air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level.

Environmental Education and Conservation.

The Country has species of high conservation values, and a rich and varied landscape with many ecosystems.

Promoting Community Connectedness and Social Cohesion.

Our Climate Change Agenda

Food is among the largest drivers of global environmental change contributing to climate change and biodiversity loss

Impact of food on our health & planet

People across the world are becoming increasingly concerned about climate change. In Uganda, 8-in-10 people see climate change as a major threat to life.

Our Action on Climate & Food

In June 2019, Freedom Radio Launched a Campaign “One Meal a Day” a major campaign calling on people to save the planet - by eating plants.

Why focus on Climate & Food?

In Uganda, most people have lack knowledge on how to make food choices that shape nutrition and reduce the risk of getting nutrition related diseases

Become a part of our climate change agenda

Freedom Radio plan aims at helping improve people’s health and cutting their environmental “foodprint” in half by simply eating one plant-based meal a day. Kindly support us to realize our goal.
