Farm Radio International is an award-winning development organization that partners with radio stations to serve African farming families and communities.

Farm Radio International has more than 1,200 broadcasting partners in 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. These partners receive our information and training resources, which they use to improve the quality of their radio programs.

Farm Radio International is a non-profit communication-for-development organization dedicated to serving African rural communities through the innovative use of radio and mobile phones. Together with our broadcasting and project partners, we reach tens of millions of small-scale farmers with life-changing information and enable them to have a stronger voice in their own development. FRI is committed to Gender Equality and Inclusion as a central element and essential outcome of its communication-for-development efforts. We engage with media partners, governments, civil society organizations and others in facilitating ongoing dialogue that contributes to the transformation of harmful gender roles, norms, and relations of power and the advancement of women’s rights. Through our efforts, rural radio programs enable women, men and gender diverse people to: share and access information; gain and exchange practical knowledge on agriculture, food and nutrition security, health, education, climate change adaptation; contribute to community and societal transformation; and have their voices heard.
