This research project, funded by the Centre for Media and Transitional Societies (CMTS) of the Carleton University School of Journalism and Communication, involves a comparative study across three West African countries (Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea) to explore the current intersection between radio, gender and information communication technologies (ICT). The research examines whether recent improvements in radio broadcast coverage and SMS technology are increasing women’s access to information and providing them with a platform that adequately meets their needs. The research also tests whether implementing a SMS mobilization program, like FrontlineSMS, can increase women’s engagement with local community radio programming.
