Akakunizo
Uganda



PMC is producing Akakunizo ("Jigsaw Puzzle") in Uganda. This 156-episode radio show began airing October 2019 in Luganda, a widely-used language in Uganda.
Akakunizo is airing in numerous districts ranging from Northeastern to Central-western Uganda, and seeks to address numerous topics including family planning, sexual and gender-based violence, and maternal and child health and nutrition.
Akakunizo is being developed as part of the RISE consortium with the lead implementation partner, MSI Choices, uniting Population Media Center and four other sector-leading organizations to increase modern family planning rates across six regions of Uganda.
As with all PMC radio shows, Akakunizo is created using PMC’s radio show methodology.
