Where We WorkSub-Saharan AfricaInternews has worked in 15 countries in Africa since 1998 and currently runs projects in Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Sudan. Internews activities in Africa are adapted to the media development needs and issues facing each country, and focus on locally relevant skills and information. They range from providing critical information to vulnerable populations in eastern Chad; to increasing accurate reporting on HIV/AIDS through training of local radio journalists in Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia. In remote regions such as Southern Sudan and Chad, where there is little media infrastructure, Internews also builds radio stations and trains nascent journalists to run them. Finally, Internews has worked in Rwanda since 1998 providing the Rwandan population with the first video coverage of the justice process surrounding the 1994 genocide.

"In general, our life as a refugee is filled with difficulties. We do not often have the means to voice our concerns to and seek solutions with people in charge of camp management. Through radio, I can make my voice heard to find solutions." Abdallah, 29-year old Sudanese refugee in Chad’s Gaga camp 
"Through doing HIV programs, I have learnt not to take any story lightly. I have discovered there is so much people need to know in order to protect themselves and to stop discriminating. My reporting has enlightened me on this epidemic and I have indirectly become an HIV counselor. Knowledge, I have discovered, is power." Sammy Muraya, co-producer of the Kenyan Broadcasting Corporation’s (KBC) weekly HIV program, A Stitch in Time |
