3.12 Community broadcasting enjoys special promotion by the government given its potential to broaden
access by communities to the airwaves.
There are today about 20 community radio stations in Madagascar. They are still
waiting for the special promotion government promised them. The announcement
made by the Director General of ORTM, then Minister of Communication, to
provide the radio community station Magneva with a transmitter, has never
materialised.
In fact, this type of radio is not covered under the law on communication
of September 1992, albeit the fact that the directorate of the Ministry of
Communication twice a year offers community radio stations training in the
areas of maternal and infant health, in addition to the material offered thanks to
UNICEF funding every year.
