The NCRF and its constituent members and stakeholders identified the need to provide development support through capacity building interventions with existing and emerging radio stations. The capacity building interventions will be aimed at improving the performance of the existing radio stations and to implement a mechanism that will support emerging community radio stations. One of the key purposes of capacity building interventions within the community radio sector is to ensure sustainability of such radio stations. The mandate of the National Community Radio Forum (NCRF) is, amongst others, to facilitate and co-ordinate capacity building amongst its constituent members. This document outlines the NCRF’s capacity building framework that will ensure integrated, relevant, appropriate and coherent development for sustainability amongst its member community radio stations.
