In collaboration with United Nations Population Fund
(UNFPA), The Population Secretariat and Central Broadcasting Station (CBS),
AHADI runs radio soap opera "Banadda
Twegande"loosely translated to "Together We Will" and broadcast in Central
Uganda region. The soap opera seeks to increase knowledge and understanding on
sexual and reproductive health issues including reproductive rights. The soap
targets farmers, plantation and factory workers and bodabodas (community
service motor cyclists). It is envisioned that the pilot program will start the
process of policy advocacy in Buganda through an effective IEC, strategy to
reduce STI/HIV, transmission and to promote condom programming. It is
anticipated that the proportion of women who have the final say in decisions about
their own health care will start increasing among the target population.
The soap is supported by a panel discussion of critical
sexual reproductive issues raised in the drama.
The soap is broadcast through Central Broadcasting Station
(CBS FM) in Central Region: Masaka, Luwero, Wakiso and Mukono. In addition,
AHADI is running a weekly comic strip in Bukedde, the Luganda newspaper. The
graphic representation enhances the messages in the radio program.
AHADI provides technical support to Twende na Wakati and Mambo
Bomba in Tanzania.
