CHAPTER FOUR: CONLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1. General Conclusion
This section discusses the results of the research. It also
draws some recommendations for the use of the radio talk show to make social
and economic sensitization, especially to promote the society's well being
through radio program.
In general radio stations broadcast messages are widely used
in Rwanda, and radio is an accessible form of communication mostly used in the
whole country. The history of media in Rwanda and it role in 1994
genocide shows how much media; especially radio RTLM contributed in
mobilization of people to kills their neighbors.
As we talked earlier, radio program focused especially on
social and economic issues in society, it is important because it inspires
population to participate in development and it opens their thoughts to
different aspects in order to improve their life status.
Another value is that population participate in the delivering
their views on a given theme, and this is very crucial to the social economic
transformation, because targeted population are easily convinced when ideas
came from his partner or their neighbors. This kind of program makes people
feel at ease to speak and this is a source society's social economic
transformation.
As the results shows, people believe in Habwa Ijambo radio
program as a medium which promotes ideas which could be a foundation of social
and economic transformation to solve their problems of poverty and lack of
knowledge on development issues.
The hypothesis as identified
earlier on this work is verified. The hypotheses addressed the contribution of
Habwa Ijambo radio program to social and economic development. According to the
results of the research, I can see that most of the time information delivered
through radio program for rural population, the targeted population especially
in rural areas embraces those ideas directed to them. Then we can confirm that
the result showed that the radio tries to give to the population social and
economic skills in the development process.
The media, especially radio which can reach even in the rural
area has a role to promote ideas which population need in their everyday's
life.
Even though we noted that the program is not allocated on
social and economic related issues, it gives flow to the population especially
in rural areas.
4.2. Recommendations
Contribution of a radio program to the social economic
transformation it is not an issue of one day. According to the history of the
media in Rwanda, media played a big role the channel of authorities and aired
politics related issues not basing on social economic transformation for the
well being of the population. Considering this research the social economic
radio programs should be a clearest path to reach rural areas, and on this
point population targeted will be involved in bring ideas which could be a
source of sustainable social economic transformation.
After conducting this research then the researcher
provides the recommendations that follow:
To the radio management and to the program
producer:
- Population from far rural areas should be good if the
program producer visits them then they could express their views and expose
their problems and could be a good way to involve them in this program
directly.
- It is good if the program producer investigate what
population need to know, about problem affecting people and special program
should be allocated to those issues.
- This program should also involve researchers/ scholars not
local leaders only in the program; because scholars know well some solution to
population's challenges to the real development. And they could easily deliver
some key solutions to the social and economic change.
- The program producer has to request to the audience to send
feedback, for the reason that the producer should know what audience think
about the program.
To the audience of the program:
- On the other hand when there is a discussion some population
refuse to speak, and this should be a challenge to the realisation of the
program. And they can stimulate others to say no, and this is a great challenge
to the realisation of the program.
To ORINFOR:
- The ORINFOR have to give this radio the financial autonomy
because the station can adequately cover all regions, in particular rural
areas, and this should be excellent, because the program will visits many
populations and they will deliver their problems and solutions.
-It might be also good for the Radio to have increased the
power of the radio in order to cover almost 90% of the Rwandan territory
because their programs are needed by the whole country.
