"Creative Associates International (Creative) launched the Haiti Media Assistance and Civic Education Program in October 2001. Known by its Creole acronym, RAMAK, which means “Rassemblan Medya pou Aksyon Kominite” or Media Gathering for Community Action, the goals of the project were to increase awareness of citizens’ rights and responsibilities and strengthen journalists’ reporting abilities. The project pursued these objectives in collaboration with 40 community radio stations and 22 local and regional associations of journalists around Haiti." (Introduction)
