"While radio drama cannot be considered to be a new practice in Nigeria, the systematic ‘hybridization’ of drama with other analytical tools of development is a more recent practice. The radio drama experience of the African Radio Drama Association (ARDA) encompasses theatre, dialogue and social

discourse, in an attempt to bridge fiction and social reality. This paper is therefore an attempt to examine the contributions of the ARDA in their series Rainbow City through the medium of drama and the organized ‘Listeners Groups’ across the areas where the broadcast is received. The issues discussed and raised here try to answer the following questions. What is new? What are the prospects of using radio drama to address development issues? What bottlenecks exist and what is the way forward? The paper is written based on the experience of the writer as one of the group leaders in the radio drama listeners group." (Abstract)

"The project ran from November 98 to May 2001, involving 13 rural women’s clubs in the Mpika district of Zambia, 600 km north of Lusaka. The clubs recorded their discussions of development issues or requests for development support; the tapes were sent to a radio producer in Lusaka, who recorded a

response from a relevant service-provider or politician. The discussion and response were edited into one programme and broadcast as a regular weekly programme by the national broadcaster, ZNBC. The clubs listened to the programmes and discussed them at their weekly meetings. This evaluation assessed the development impact of the project, principally by talking to members of the clubs and others in their communities. An audience survey was also carried out, in three different areas. The main findings of the evaluation were: The project has brought substantial material benefits and new information to the communities. To some extent the clubs and communities have been empowered to access development inputs themselves, though the mediation of the radio programme producer has also been an important factor; The success in achieving material benefits for the communities was probably a strong force in building community support for the clubs in the early months of the project, but now their role in providing information and stimulating discussion is equally appreciated; The Clubs have not achieved material benefits specifically for their own incomegenerating activities, which was the original aim of the project, and which they see (on a video) happening in Zimbabwe. Income-generating is still the clubs’ main purpose, so the project should seek to help them strengthen their income-generating activities; The project has stimulated intense discussions, in the clubs and the communities, about social issues. The clubs’ ability to discuss and present issues clearly is greatly appreciated by men and young people in the communities; There is an emerging perception of a role for the clubs as educators for their communities. They are confidently passing on their own experience, and information from outside sources, as well as “hosting” outside experts in their radio programmes; The programmes are widely listened to and appreciated all over Zambia."
