3.7.3. Linkage between program's contents and social -
economic development issues basing on examples
A 19 year old boy, who is an agriculturist he said he
regularly listen the program, after two years when listen the program, he said
that: «I was been inspired by starting developing small projects.
Currently I own pigs and goats,» He added that «I hope to
improve very soon my life,» and he believe to share this knowledge to
his neighbours.
This is the valid linkage of Habwa Ijambo program and the
social impact to the rural residents, radio spread the information in the
public.
He further added that he understood different government
policy which concerns the rural population, such as Health scheme insurance,
family planning. And also the program is very important for the population
because it inspires us by imitating what others did.
A 40 year old women, a mother of four the advise us to adopt
the family planning policy, and now I'm able to adopt this policy.
Other respondents argue that they experienced how the make
into practice what then listen for in the program and someone start keeping a
rabbit and now he owns a rabbit.
Basic on concrete examples they express their feelings how the
program helps them to get the solution of their social programs, for instance
someone told the researcher how he get the solution of the conflict between his
couple with her wife while they don't get a common understanding on family
planning issue, but now after get knowledge he got from the program now they
are able to make into practice those skills.
In general a big percentage of respondents argue that they get
an advantage in listening in the program, because it inspires them and they
imitate what other did in terms economy and social issues.
A woman in Rwaniro sector stated that she bought a pig,
because in Habwa Ijambo she listens in someone, who started keeping pigs and he
became richer.

embraced how a family can resolve conflicts in their relationship, for instance

with her husband.

Habwa ijambo, get something in the program, statistics shows that 86.6% of

3.7.4. Respondents'
criticisms to the program
A 21 old boy, he is domestic, said that this program is
dedicated to old generation living in rural areas, and he suggests that this
program should cover also debate focusing on rural youths, he declared that:
«This program should be fruitful to the youth if they should
participate actively in the realisation of it.»
This program is citisized by the youth because it doesn't
allocate a great time to some issues regarding youth's concerns, because it
doesn't help young people to explore some issues regarding health
reproduction.
A 22 old girl said that if the program shifts the time of its
broadcasting to the night hours, she recommends that if could be better and it
can help young generation who are studying and living in the rural areas to
listen to it.
Mainly respondents talked about their wishes that the program
should cover some issues related especially to the social - economic
activities, a 77 year old man argued that: «This program help us
mainly to catch well the family planning policy but the problem here is that
the program don't dig deeper in this policy; We want to learn more about this
guiding principles.»
Another criticism from respondents is that the producer
doesn't come up with expert in given issues, for instance whether it is the
program which is exlporing the use and how people embrace the family planning
policy, with three children per family it is a problem. We should recommend to
the radio station to invite experts to debate on differents issues regarding
our daily life.
In this case my view is that if you are proffessional
journalist you have to invite different people who should deliver their views
on a given topic, this help the audience to catch more the topic, for instance
if you invite a university proffesor to help people undestand well this
policy.
The program producer always went in the place where it is
located market, and some respondents raised the issue that it is not fair to
approach always places where it is market, audience request that it could be
good if the journalist approach them in their respective village.
A lady who always listen the program but she didn't till now
contribute to the program, said that: «I always catch the program
where the journalist went always in markets, and we need that he should
approach us in our villages, because it is complicated to contribute ideas
where it is many people, if he approach us it could be better and we can feel
free to express ourselves.»
As a journalist and who has a clear focus in his program, he
has to reach different places in countryside not reach only markets, here some
respondents complains and they wonder why the program producer didn't reach
them in their villages.
A man who is a photographer said that hours where the program
is broadcasted it is complicated to listen to it because it working hours, he
said that: «If they shift the airing time and to move it in weekend
and evening hours it could be good.»
A domestic who lived in Rwaniro sector, said that:
«We as young people we didn't contribute to the program because the
producer approach mainly local people and we need to if he approach us in
schools we can feel free to express ourselves and share ideas which our
colleagues.»
A young girl aged 21 she is a student in secondary school, but
she did stay at the school, she said that: «As youth we need that the
program should also broadcast some issues related to reproductive health, HIV
AIDS and this should be a good step to sensitize youths to fight against the
HIV disease among youths.»
A 43 old man carpenter he is a father of six said that he
appreciates the program's contents but he should approach peasants not only
reach market place but he should talk to local population, he said that:
«It is good to come near local farmers not sellers in
markets.»
