Communication pour l’empowerment à Madagascar: Une évaluation des besoins en communication et média au niveau de la communauté

Xavier Leus

Oslo; South Orange, NJ: UNDP Oslo Governance Centre; Communication for Social Change Consortium (CFSC) (2008), 60 pp. + annexes

"Les conclusions démontrent clairement que la radio est le média le plus choisi et à plus grand potentiel à Madagascar: 71 pour cent des gens interviewés comptent sur l'information par la radio (11% ont mentionné la télévision, 10% ont indiqué la place du marché et 8% ont mentionné la pre ... sse écrite). En outre l'émission d'informations à la radio s’avère être crédible et souvent loin d’être disséminée dans la communauté et dans les réunions d'église pour assurer que ceux qui n’ont pas d’accès à la radio sont aussi informés. L’importance de la radio augmente lorsque nous observons les données rapportant que seulement 49% des gens interviewés affirment avoir accès à la radio “à tout moment.” L’insuffisance des moyens pour acheter des piles ou payer l’électricité fut un problème commun; 35% des interviewés ont affirmé qu'ils peuvent ”parfois se permettre d'écouter la radio.” Approximativement 90% des municipalités reçoivent des émissions de la radio nationale et plus de 50% sont susceptibles de recevoir la télévision nationale, alors que seulement 7% puissent bénéficier des publications écrites. Le faible taux de possession de postes radios, le faible taux de possession de postes téléviseurs, et les taux élevé d'analphabétisme combinés avec le coût élevé du transport de la presse écrite signifient que le nombre de gens recevant réellement la radio, la télévision et les publications écrites est bien en dessous des taux de possession. L'étude a révélé une préférence d’écoute aux émissions d‘environ 50/50 entre la radio nationale et les stations FM locales. Madagascar a très peu de stations, voire aucune, pouvant être caractérisées comme radios communautaires; appartenant et gérées par des volontaires ou un personnel provenant de la communauté. Plusieurs des entrevues ont souligné l'importance de l'information locale, et la nécessité d'être capable de faire passer des annonces à la radio – un moyen d'interaction, parmi quelques uns existants, avec les stations radios pour les membres de la communauté. La plupart des stations radios locales n'offrent pas d’horaires pour des appels téléphoniques programmés sur les ondes par lequel le public peut exprimer ses opinions ou discuter des problèmes qui leur sont importants. Nous n’avons appris aucune interaction ni de participation dans la production d’émission dans cette étude. La moitié des interviewés soulignent un intérêt dans la participation aux émissions radio par divers moyens si cela serait possible un jour."
