Mass Media |
The ProCEEd team and its strategic partners have been producing regular environmental TV and radio programs and newspaper columns at the national and provincial level which viewers, listeners and readers in Lao PDR can follow regularly regularly. These nationwide and provincial mass media activities support ProCEEd's objective that knowledge, attitudes and behavior related to the environment, biodiversity and climate change in Laos will improve through better access to relevant information. Thus, rural target groups should be empowered to better mitigate and adapt to climate change and risks, and protect biodiversity and the environment in general. ProCEEd has supported this broad scope of measures through capacity development in all relevant fields of journalistic and communication skills in close cooperation with MoNRE and other strategic partners in the mass media, government and non-government organizations. For example, Lao print and broadcasting journalists participated in a one-week advanced training on environmental journalism with a renowned German and Thai colleague in 2014. Staff from provincial and d district radio stations in Khammouane, Houaphan, Sayaboury and Bolikhamxay joined a basic training workshop on environmental radio in late 2015. As a result, LNR Khammouane and LNR Houaphan intend to start broadcasting regular environmental radio programs by April 2016. A local pilot program has been tried out with LNR Khammouane in 2014. |
