class="ydp4063d5f5yahoo_quoted">Media in Cooperation and
Transition (MiCT) gGmbh is a German non-profit organisation that
implements media development projects in Africa, the Middle
East, and Asia. Activities focus on the interplay between
conflict, media coverage and reconciliation.<br>
“Transmission Air et Terre” is a radio project funded by German
International Cooperation (GIZ). It is an information program
for small scale farmers in Burkina Faso. The aim of the project
is to improve agricultural planning, increase productivity and
professionalize marketing in underdeveloped regions of the
country. The project aims at providing farmers in the western
part of the country with information relevant to agriculture,
innovative ideas and best practice experiences.<br>
</div>
<div class="ydp4063d5f5yahoo_quoted">The editor-in-chief will work
closely with three partner radio stations in Burkina Faso. Each
of these local stations will have one radio editor working on
the project. In collaboration with the three local stations /
editors, the editor-in-chief is responsible for the development
and production of regular radio broadcasts around relevant
agricultural topics. During the project period, the aim is to
produce around 80 broadcasts per partner station – the total
target is thus 240 radio broadcasts during the project. During
the project period the editor-in-chief will visit the partner
stations and other local stakeholders in Burkina Faso on a
regular basis. <br>

<div class="ydp4063d5f5yahoo_quoted">In addition, the project will
employ an innovative information platform that provides
supplementary information for smartphone users. The Pocket FM
platform has been developed by MiCT and will provide a range of
information including text and image-based elements that will be
updated regularly. Initially the pocket FM system will be
installed at five locations that correspond to the GiZ project
areas in Burkina Faso. In collaboration with the local radio
stations / editors the editor-in-chief will be responsible for
generating content for the information platform. <br>
