<H2>Survey Report: Community Participation at Local and Community Radio Stations</H2>
<P>Participation of the community is an important feature of almost all stations responding to a survey, conducted by CAMECO to examine and gain a deeper understanding of concrete practices and challenges of community and local radios. The explorative survey showed that in all world regions, community involvement in programming is strongest. Participation in management, ownership and funding are less common. <BR>Whereas the ranking of the various areas of participation is similar throughout the regions, differences exist in their importance: Latin American radios top participation in programming, but they are far below average in management and ownership. In Africa, the level of participation in financing and ownership is comparatively high. In Asia, participation in management plays a crucial role. </P>
<P>The findings of the<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Zurich Cn BT','sans-serif'" lang=EN-GB><FONT size=3> three explorative surveys, conducted by CAMECO between September 2011 and January 2012, among radio stations in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific, </FONT></SPAN>should by no means be considered representative, but will serve as a basis for further in-depth research, leading to a practice oriented publication, as part of the CAMECO “Practice Series”. </P></DIV>
