Jean Fedner Chéry accepted the Internews Media Leadership Award on behalf of RAMAK.
|
RAMAK (Rasanbleman Medya pou Aksyon Kominote - Media Network for Community Action) is a network of 41 community radio stations and the largest media association in Haiti. Spread across the country, the network covers close to 85% of the territory outside the capital, Port-au-Prince. Most of RAMAK’s member stations are based in rural communities or small towns and are usually operated and managed by volunteers. RAMAK’s programming is community-oriented, focused on educational and cultural programs, local information, debates and music. With support from Internews, the network has raised awareness of issues such as gender-based violence, migration, children’s rights, HIV, the environment and civic education. Many of its stations represent the only entertainment available in their remote area.
