This document discusses how mobile phones and radio compare to the internet as participatory media in developing areas. It notes that together, radios and mobile phones can serve as a broad-distribution network accessible to more people, including non-literate audiences, similar to some internet dynamics. The document also highlights examples of community radio stations in Malawi, Zambia, and Kenya and how they utilize volunteers. It asks questions about how new information and communication technologies impact public debate, political participation, citizen-state relations, and relations with other governance actors.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
7. “The only technology that compares to the mobile phone in terms of pervasiveness and accessibility in the developing world is the radio. Indeed, considered together, radios and mobile phones can serve as a broad-distribution, participatory media network with some of the same citizen media dynamics of the Internet, but accessible to a much wider, and non-literate audience.” Ethan Zuckerman, 2007

Editor's Notes
FrontlineSMS. Why aren’t ICT4D solutions focused on users on the ground, rather than top-down solutions in the image of technological brilliance in the developed North? Cheap or free, not internet dependent, easy to implement, infrastructure light, fast adoption …
FrontlineSMS: turns a laptop, mobile phone and modem into a two-way communications systemFree and simple to acquire, easy to use, networked into the FrontlineSMS user community forum where new ideas and innovations, success stories, problem-solving etc shared.Agriculture: market prices, ag extensionRONGEAD in Cote D’Ivoire uses FrontlineSMS to send market prices for cashews to small producer farmers: world’s second largest exporter and 250,000 producers. Sends 3,000 SMS weeklyHealth: district and primary health; community health support networks; monitoring and campaigning (Stop Stockouts)Livelihoods: job centre alertsElection monitoring & corruption tracking
Version 2, exciting new developments... [focus on end-users; hands-off; focus on the margins/long-tail] functionalities and user-interactive experiences >> relating this to the theme, power in people's hands.Amy O’Donnell and Flo Scialom from FrontlineSMS are here to answer questions
Sister projects: versions of FrontlineSMS tailored to specific user groups.
Radio still rules in Africa: over 90% of households own a radio. But for all its muscle connecting the masses, radio communication remains mostly one-way. If radio was more interactive, listeners could share information, communicate grassroots reactions to current affairs and mobilize change. Radio, meet the mobile phone. Penetration 1 in 4 in 2008, estimated 1 in 2 by 2013. Caveats: geo variance, gender, literacy, usage, cost.
RadioThe Organic Farmer, a Kenyan magazine about ecologically friendly farming practices, recently launched two radio shows aimed at smallholder farmers. John Cheburet, the radio producer has started using text messaging to transform his radio show from a one-way broadcast medium to a two-way dialogue between members of the farming community. The show receives texts from farmers seeking agricultural advice and John uses FrontlineSMS to manage the interaction with the audience. Organic Farmer in Kenya: FADECO Radio is based in the Karagwe district of Tanzania, near Lake Victoria. Through the combination of radio and FrontlineSMS Joseph Sekiku, FADECO’s founder, shares information on diverse topics, including agricultural advice and market prices. Prior to FADECO Radio there were no newspapers, TV or internet in Karagwe; the community was completely cut off from information flows. BREEZE FM
