- SRP: Catholic radio stations in Sudan
- From
- Sudan Radio Project
In South Sudan, high rates of illiteracy make radio one of the most effective forms of mass communication. The most popular radio stations in the south are the government radio station, Radio Juba, the UN's Radio Miraya, and community based secular stations. However, because of south sudan's large christian population, several religious stations have recently emerged. One such broadcaster, the Sudan Catholic Radio Network, has been particularly successful and now has 7 operating stations throughout the South. Celia Foster has more on the group's efforts to create broadcasts for and by the Sudanese people.
