FACE2FACE: WIDENING LOCAL DIALOGUE IN
MOZAMBIQUE
COMMUNITY INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATION SUPPORT CENTRE
Radio Day Africa, Johanesburg, 1st – 3rd July 2015
CONTEXT AND GENERAL INFORMATION
• The project combines ICT tools including
radio, video and social media to promote
public intervention and the right to
information using the community radio
network.
• The problem is to ensure that the new
Right to Information law, now gets properly
implemented not only in the big cities but
throughout the country.
• The project will build on existing experiences, with a strong emphasis on local
initiative and leadership, and replicability through the decentralization of skills and
support systems.
OUR GOALS
• Improve interaction between citizens and authorities through effective use of
audiovisual tools and local language, particularly video;
• Establish a public information culture in districts using the new Right to
Information Law;
• Increase citizen access to public information, and their possibilities of discussing
and presenting their needs and getting feedback.

HOW TO ENGAGE CITZEN AND GOVERNMENT
• National government has already stated that it will support implementation of the
new law and will educate its structures for this purpose at all levels, and has
encouraged civil society organizations and others to contribute to this
implementation.
• The radio station will act as an interface between local government and citizens,
collecting and publicizing opinions and information.
• The project is intended to generate increased flows of public information of all
kinds at local level, and increased public debate and use of information
provided.
• Information and ideas presented through the community radio will naturally be
adapted for different listenership.
• The RC will disseminate local issues at national level through social networks
and other media.
