Mali

PMC is producing a new radio serial drama in Mali, to address family planning, HIV/AIDS and reproductive health, with a special emphasis on female genital mutilation (FGM). Over 92% of women and girls in Mali have been circumcised, which is the highest rate in the world.

In January 2008, PMC conducted a training for scriptwriters. The program is planned to begin broadcasting in Spring 2008. The new program, called Djigi ma Tignè (”Hope is Allowed”) features three story lines. Read more about the storylines from Djigi ma Tignè.

The production of Djigi ma Tignè follows the sucess of PMC’s first radio serial drama in Mali, Cesiri Tono (“All the Rewards of Courage and Hard Work”). Cesiri Tono was aired throughout Mali, Burkina Faso, and Côte d’Ivoire. The drama was aired from November 2004 to October 2005 and addressed issues such as children’s rights, exploitative child labor, child trafficking, and reproductive health. The drama had a significant personal impact on the lives of many people, both adults and children, throughout the region. Read more about Cesiri Tono.
