Ethiopia
Naedetai ("Let’s Stop, This is Enough") was a radio magazine that premiered in November of 2007 and aired once per week through December 2009. Seventy-five episodes of this 15-minute radio magazine were aired in the Afar language. It went on the air again from October 2011 through June 2014, airing 132 new episodes.

The series aired on the National Service Radio of Ethiopia. It was produced in the Afar Region and included short plays, interviews, storytelling, and narration.

In addition to these components, PMC has produced TV and radio spots and leaflets in three languages (Amharic, Afar, and Somali).
