Igaddaa and Naedeti
PMC-Ethiopia is currently broadcasting a magazine format radio program in both the Afar and Somali regions - Igaddaa (“We Do Not Want It Any More) in the Afar language and Naedeti (“Let’s Stop”) in the Somali language. The program addresses issues such as gender equity and harmful traditional practices, including female circumcision. Short plays, interviews, storytelling, and narration comprise elements of the program. One segment, Gudayochachen (“Our Concerns”) is broadcast regularly each week while other segments are incorporated interchangeably: 1) Endenawk (“For Our Awareness”) deals with professional advice relating to the physiological, intellectual, and psychological development of youth; 2) Trunet (“Having Good Values”) focuses on values which are widely accepted by the community; and 3) Misalewochachin (“Our Models”) includes interviews with youth and family members who can be role models. The programs are 15 minutes in length and are broadcast once a week on the National Service of Radio Ethiopia. Igaddaa and Naedeti began in November 2007 and will run until December 2009.
This project is funded by Save the Children - Norway.
