Montreal, March 15, 2016. As part of their continued partnership, the
Office for Corporate Communication of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization <http://www.fao.org/home/en/> (FAO) and the World
Association of Community Radio Broadcasters <http://www2.amarc.org/>
(AMARC) join forces again this year to facilitate the production of *40
audio pieces* by *producers and community radio journalists. *



The international audio series *“Communicating Development”* aims to
facilitate access to best management practices, increase public education
and encourage dissemination of scientific knowledge.



*“Communicating Development”* will focus on various themes such as
nutrition, food security, health, biodiversity and climate change
adaptation and mitigation. *Producers and community radio journalists are
invited to send a proposal on the following themes*:


*International Year of Pulses <http://www.fao.org/pulses-2016/en/>**:
Nutritional value of pulses; markets (production, consumption habits and
trade); recipes;  health; (impact of pulses on) food security; (impact of
pulses on) food sovereignty, etc.*

*Zero Hunger* <http://www.fao.org/zhc/en/>*: Food security; efforts to end
childhood stunting; sustainability of food systems; improvement of
conditions for smallholder farmers; prevention of food loss and waste.*

*Climate change* <http://www.fao.org/climate-change/en/>*:** Climate change
mitigation and adaptation; local, regional and national effects; local,
regional and national response; resilience; food security; biodiversity;
etc. *

The audio pieces will be featured on a dedicated page on AMARC’s website
and on FAO’s website from *March to December 2016*. They will also benefit
from a visibility campaign in the network of partners, members and on
social media.



*What is AMARC looking for?*

·         Documentary, reportage, interview, roundtable, storytelling, etc.
(format is flexible)

·         The audio production must *at least 10 minutes long* and ready
for on-air broadcast.

·         Productions in local languages are welcomed (a translated script
is required).



This audio series also aims to illustrate the *diversity*, the *originality*
and the *quality* of AMARC’s international network of producers and
community radio journalists.

Community radio journalists and producers are encouraged to submit a
proposal to secretariat at si.amarc.org *before March 30, 2016*. Please state
