Dear Colleagues, The first community network and community radio workshop was held in Dodoma, Tanzania from 5th – 7th December 2018. The workshop was designed to bring together various stakeholders supporting the community network and community radio in Tanzania and beyond. Community established networks also referred to as “Community Networks” (CN) have existed for many years and, provide a sustainable solution to address the connectivity gaps that exist in urban, remote, and rural areas around the world. Similarly, community broadcasters also referred as “Community Radios (CR)” can be generally defined as those which are independent, not-for-profit, and governed by and in the service of the communities they serve.
The objective of the workshop was to promote the creation and growth of Community Networks and Community Radio thereby increase collaboration among operators working in these areas in Tanzania. Workshop participants also discussed the role of the community network and community radio towards Industrialized Economy. The workshop was planned to be an annual event bringing together various stakeholders working in the area of the community network and community radio in Tanzania and beyond.
