Niger
Beginning in February 2006, PMC aired a two-year radio serial drama entitled Gobe da Haske (“Tomorrow Will be a Brighter Day”) to address the issues of child trafficking and exploitation of children, children’s rights and the link between these problems and poverty-inducing factors, such as unplanned pregnancy and HIV/AIDS.
The program was produced in Hausa, which is the most commonly spoken language in Niger. The project was funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

PMC established a country office in Niamey, Niger and worked in collaboration with Initiative Jeunes, a nongovernmental youth-focused organization. Gobe da Haske finished its first broadcast run on January 14, 2007. USAID provided a no-cost extension to allow for re-broadcast of the program in 2007. A final evaluation study was conducted in early 2007.
The program was distributed via satellite by First Voice International to 73 radio stations, of which 69 are community radio stations, three are rural radio stations, and also the national radio (ORTN Voice of the Sahel).
