Their voices remain absent in an environment dominated by the mainstream media, disseminating only entertainment and national level or state level information. This publication brings some of these voices to the foreground. It includes pieces by some of the community radio practitioners who have been engaging with their communities for many years at the grassroots level, and address issues critical to community radio, such as capacity building, sustainability, technology and other aspects of their experience. It also includes write-ups by specialists from various other fields who have contributed to equally critical aspects of community radio, such as copyright issues, policy perspectives, knowledge sharing and capacity building."

The clubs especially enabled women to assume a pro-active role in the development of their community and to receive recognition for doing so. The last chapter of the publication presents guidelines for creating and maintaining community listeners' clubs, and the main success factors to be considered." (CAMECO Update 1-2012)

"A revenue plan, unlike a traditional fundraising plan, is an integrated, thoughtful, and strategic way to help a nonprofit achieve social impact in a more sustainable way. The revenue plan is a key element of a nonprofit’s strategic plan. It is critical that an organization understand the cost of

achieving the goals set out in the strategic plan (expenses) and how it will pay for them (revenue). Fundraising, raising money from private sources (individuals, foundations, and corporations), is just one revenue options available to nonprofits. Additional options include: earned income (selling a product or service), government grants, fee for service, and corporate sponsorships, just to name a few. A revenue plan differs from a fundraising plan in a number of ways. Unlike a fundraising plan, a revenue plan: includes all activities that bring money in the door in a fully integrated strategy and execution plan; supports the short AND long term goals of the organization; funds the programs AND infrastructure of the organization; employs money-securing activities that are in line with the core competencies of the organization."
