ANSA EAP’s VOICES
Reflections on Media and Social Accountability
In 2009, ANSA-EAP provided a small grant to YASCITA for the development of radio and television programs on social accountability through Radio Swara Alam and Kendari TV. At the same time, ANSA-EAP provided technical support, in the form of learning and mentoring activities, to the media groups to orient them on the social accountability approach and guide them in developing the proposed media programs.
A’o Dode, former Executive Director of Radio Swara Alam and member of YASCITA, shares his reflections on the experience of mainstreaming SAc in Kendari City media groups and society.
