It examines how the sector can be strengthened in line with international standards and provides analysis and recommendations that may be of interest to donors and policy makers as they set priorities for media development. The purpose of this Report is to promote greater understanding about the challenges and potential of community media, and to highlight better practices, with a view to helping UNESCO Member States identify and address priority areas for reform in their national contexts. As a growing sector, community radio facilitates access to educational, public health, and agricultural information and provides an open platform for democratic public debate. Women and youth are among the primary beneficiaries of community radio in developing countries. There are many models possible for community radio but often international standards underpinning freedoms of expression and information tend to be overlooked and good practices on media development are hardly adopted in a manner that privileges grassroots community needs. This publication offers some insight to advance the legal recognition of community broadcasters and to invite partnerships and innovative measures that will ensure their future sustainability."

This provides a background legal framework for the presentation of country practice that follows. Part II provides a series of regional overviews, which are intended to give readers an overall sense of developments and directions regarding community radio in each region. Part III provides detailed comparative country analysis, broken down into the three issues noted above. Part IV looks at a number of countries where the development of regulatory frameworks for community radio either is still in the planning stage or is very underdeveloped. In some of these countries, there is a thriving or important community radio sector, despite the lack of supportive regulation. In other countries, there are plans to introduce dedicated community broadcasting regulation as a first step to developing the sector. Part V puts forward a number of recommendations for the regulation of community media, based on both international standards and the way these standards have been given effect in the regulatory systems of different States. This is intended to inform States which are establishing or revising their community broadcasting regulatory regimes, as well as to those advocating for such changes."
