What it reported doing in 2024

Catholic relief services: since april 2020, catholic relief services (crs) has partnered with pci media on designing, producing and implementing a radio-based awareness campaign to encourage the implementation of ongoing agricultural as a production practices in central america. The crs regional communications and asa (agua y suelo para la agricultura water and soil for agriculture) teams has been working in close collaboration with the crs country program teams from nicaragua, el salvador, honduras and guatemala and the pci media team to ensure that the messages, materials and radiobroadcast strategy are relevant to the local context in each of the four countries of intervention.a robust, multi-platform social behavior change communications campaign is critical to encourage the adoption of asa practices at scale in central america. Using radio, social media, press placements, and whatsapp groups will allow the asa team to reach a large volume of farmers and government actors while working in a remote environment as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. In a pandemic like the current one, food security is also a major concern. Guaranteeing good yields is key to preventing a possible reduction in the food supply due to: a reduction in the area under cultivation, an increase in the price and/or shortage of inputs, a reduction in imports due to limited movement, and restrictions on the movement of the population, among others. Asa practices, which have proven effective in production, are now more critical than ever to putting food on the table. Techniques like soil fertility management (4r), cover crop management, sowing densities, and the use of green manures can help producers to protect themselves and their families from food insecurity. Pci media continues to work with crs in order to continue to build and deliver social behavior change communications and produce high quality radio content. Implementation1.training - pci trained the crs teams to plan their annual campaign. This included planning sessions for each country and one for the regional team. This included coaching on the selection of additional community radio stations based on geographic coverage, popularity with the audience groups, and technical and human capacities to support the campaign, as well as identifying the asa promoters that will be actively participating in the programs.2. Coaching and mentoring crs teams throughout the broadcasting periods - pci media provides strategic advice and coaching to crs in-country teams, radio stations and asa promoters through the broadcast periods, according to the needs of each country.

This mentorship will help crs teams (1) design, produce and facilitate the entertainment education live call-in programs, including accompanying crs-led trainings with radio stations; and (2) to strengthen the communication capacities of the asa promoters to participate in the live shows and become advocates for the issues promoted in the campaign. This model will lead to improvements in the quality of the programs, as well as to the sustainability of the campaign beyond the intervention period.3.
