The purpose of the project was to increase access to information, in particular for ethnic people and vulnerable groups. It also aimed to increase the voice and participation of local communities in the production of relevant information for their own community. This project started as a one year pilot but was furher extended to provide full support for the establishment of Khoun Community Radio in Xieng
Khouang Province. The starting point of the project was to understand what kind of information is available to people in their local communities, where do people look for information, what sort of information they want, and how to better respond to their information needs.
The following objectives were set in the beginning of the project:
The establishment of a local radio station in Khoun district;
News making trainings of public information officers at provincial and district level;
An audience survey of information needs and demands from the local community;
News making training, managing and coaching to community volunteers in Khoun.
III. PROJECT PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS
1.
Contribution to the strategic goals
Intended Outcome
This project contributes to outcome 3.1 of the UNDAF - greater people’s and community participation in and contribution to public policy, local development and nation building. It did this through promoting increased and more equal public access to timely and relevant information, especially in rural and remote areas and among poor, vulnerable populations, particularly women, youth, and children.
Expected CP Outcome(s): Increased proportion of media programming (radio, television and print) available to children and young people to enable them to participate and express themselves on the issues of concern to them.

Progress towards achieving outcome
Khoun Community Radio building was finalized and fully equipped in June 2007. Dormitory for the radio volunteers was finalized in October 2008. During the project lifetime (2006-2011) 988 volunteers were trained on community media production and 586 on the use of radio equipment. Some of these volunteers have become trainers themselves and have provided peer support for other community radios. Khoun community radio has partnered with community radios in the region and other associations and institutions. Through these partnerships, lessons learned have been shared and training on community radio operation and programme production have been organized in Khoun.
Since the station has been officially launched, it has broadcasted over 9,210 hours of 13 different types of programs in 3 different ethnic languages.
Through the implementation of the project and station activities between 2006-2011, information and knowledge regarding agricultural techniques, health care of children and women, sanitation and other relevant issues has increased in Khoun community. In addition, current affairs in Khoun and other provinces that were relevant to the development and people’s lives in Khoun were also broadcasted on
Khoun Radio, widely and in timely manner. Model individuals and families were often invited to the studio to be interviewed for the programmes. Voices from community were also captured and broadcast, as a result of community outreach and mobilisation visits. These provided an opportunity for community members to exchange their lessons in agricultural production and share their opinions on various issues affecting their community.
Health being one of the most challenging areas in terms of bringing development to the ethnic remote and more isolated communities, the district health service could report important changes taking place in priority areas, which was clearly seen by them as resulting from the Khoun Radio:

60-70% more ethnic women use health facilities when pregnant 1 ;

50% more women bring their kids to vaccination compared to before the Khon radio –
increase especially among Hmong community, who used to refuse vaccination;

83% more people use toilet in around Khoun District.

Important decrease in numbers of diarrhea-related illness due to improved practices like water sources & treatment (boiling it);

Parents taking more responsibility for kids’ welfare (before this was left to the school)

People use more bio fertilizer instead chemical fertilizer.

Women, who were kept locked up in the house by their husbands - or who were victims of domestic violence begin to approach the radio via its intermediaries, the volunteer broadcasters, asking for their issue to be taken up. Women’s programme covered these issues and during the monitoring visits to the villages the people have told that such practices are slowly starting to change after they have been discussed in the radio 2 . In the future these women may be able to ask for their right to also be heard and to have a real voice.

Based in workers’ rights programmes, workers start demanding minimum wage. The offices in the district administration has been visited by growing numbers of workers asking for their papers – and pay – to be adjusted to match the value of their work. Rights they had not heard about before the radio started broadcasting. Before they did not know, and they did not dare to ask. This was reported by the ‘Government volunteer’ head of the production group dealing with legal information and workers’ rights in our group interview with the radio board.
1 Maternal mortality in Lao PDR is among the highest in the world: MMR = 650 / 100.000 live births; and with 1 in 25 risk of maternal death (UNFPA 2005)

Update on partnerships
Khoun Radio Support Project has worked in close partnership with the government agencies, international organizations, INGOs, Lao National Assembly as well as other UN and UNDP supported development projects. At the implementing level, the main partners are the radio board and community volunteers, who are representatives from all sectors, varying in ages, genders and ethnicities. These people are committed and ready to participate in project and station activities. This gives a sense of achievement to the Project. The project has created a team to work closely with external partners to raise funds and generate contents for the station. Through this partnership, it is hoped that the station will ensure its sustainability when the project has closed.
In the past three and half years of the project implementation, partnership with 6 development projects has been established:
The Poverty Reduction Fund, Sustainable Agriculture Project, Biogas Pilot Project, Mine Advisory
Group,The Agro-Biodiversity Initiative project and Equal Access project. The station has produced 32 spots, 43 magazine programmes as well as news reports and broadcasted them in 3 different local languages for these projects. In return, the partner projects have been providing financial support to the station with a total amount of more than 45 million LAK.
Furthermore, a trainer from University of Glamorgan, UK organized free 5 day training on radio drama production. Eight participants attended the trainining.
The Asian Media Information Center (AMIC) organized a 5 day programme production with community training. Fourteen broadcaster (five from Thateng ethnic community radio) attended the training.
The project has also worked with World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Project. This project organized a five days training on water and sanitation programme production. Fourteen volunteer attended this training.
In addition, Khoun Community radio is a social member of AMARC ( The World Association of Community
Radio Broadcasters) and Isis International. In the past two years, we have work together on technical and caparcity building. KCR and KCRSP have sent two volunteers and two staffs to attend the trainings and conferences that held in Malaysia, Philippines and India organized by AMARC and Isis.

Outcome: Increased and more equal public access to timely and relevant information, especially in rural and remote areas and among poor, vulnerable population, particularly women, youth, and children.
Progress towards achieving outcome: Through implementation of project and station activities between 2006-2010, information regarding agricultural techniques, health care of children and women, sanitation and other relevant issues was provided to Khoun community. In addition, current affairs in
Khoun and other provinces that were relevant to the development and people’s lives in Khoun were also broadcasted on Khoun Radio, widely and in timely manner. Outstanding individuals and model families were often invited to the studio for interviews for a program, especially for an agricultural programmes. Voices from community were also captured and broadcasted, as a result of community outreach and mobilisation visits. These provided an opportunity for community members to exchange their lessons in agricultural production and share their opinions on various issues affecting their community.

October 2008. program productions; more programs were produced with variety of styles and contents.
This also allowed more involvement from community in program productions.
1.2.3 Comparing with the number set in the project document, this target has been achieved 100%.
1.2.4 This mobile radio was very useful to be used to raise awareness about radio broadcasting to community members and as an effective training tool for community broadcasters.
1.3.1 The construction was not competed at the desired deadline; the design was not appropriate for a communitybased radio station as there were no windows in the studios.
1.3.2 Volunteers who came from remote areas had a place to stay. And, this also provided an opportunity for government offices to contribute in the development of the station.
1.2.3 Radio receivers procured by the
Procurement Unit were rather expensive and did not meet with the specifications provided by the project. In the future, when procuring equipment, the project should be involved in decision-making with the Procurement Unit.
-
1.3.1 The design was not appropriate for a community-based radio station due to lack of a radio technical expert. There was also some delay with the construction; it was not completed on time as workers had to take leaves often.

The Khoun community clearly understands the purpose of KCR and it is interested in volunteering with radio.
People in each village that the team visited are very interested in producing their own programmes, they gave useful and constructive feedback to the team to improve quality of programmes.
To ensure sustainability, before the end of the Khoun project in
2011,the KCR team visited 6 villages and helped the people to prepared 4 new programme.
More volunteers joined the station from all of the 6 villages.
3.4.3 Some village correspondents did not have acces to the telephone; they lived far from the station; they had no money for transport. And also, the training was rather short, 3 days, which was not enough to prepare them for news reporting.
Therefore, it is important that the information is delivered from the bottomup, and that each village has to contribute some money for village correspondents to do their job. It is also important to provide follow-up training.
The station have a plan to further train them in the near future.

The project and station have ensured that participation from women, especially women with ethnic background, is taken into account when planning activities. Thus, when activities were organized women were specially encouraged to participate, reflecting in percentage of women attending the workshop/training or meeting organized by the project and the station or by other organizations. The participation rate increased from 39% in 2008 to
43.38% in the end of the project. 28.57% of board members are women and the board has been chaired by a women. In addition, about 39.58 % of broadcasters are women (19 out of
48 people). Based on the above percentage, participation of women compared with that of men was still rather low but satisfactory when comparing with the target percentage in the project document (at least 35%). The project as well as the station will continue to encourage and create opportunities for women to take part in decision-making as much as possible. Furthermore, ethnic women who live in remote areas are also engaged in information production and encouraged to express themselves and through that be part of socio-economic development and improvement of their lives.
All Audit recommendations have been regularly follow-up.
