"... The CBS Radio 95.3 MHz in Buea with the support of the CPS Programme in Cameroon, developed a training curriculum for voluntary programme producers to enable local communities and individuals to produce new radio programmes and guide them in their learning-bydoing process and practical acquisition of skills ... The first workshop for new VEBs was essential for the CBS Radio 95.3 MHz in Buea to motivate community members and community leaders to take ownership of the CBS Radio in Buea as their local community station and experience CBS Radio as a way to communicate with the local population. The workshop motivated community members to produce new programmes including a series on the “co-habitation syndrome” and women rights, family and social counselling, HIV/ AIDS prevention, a programme on the local archives and documentation centre and a programme for students of the University of Buea ... In conclusion, community-based media face several challenges ranging from lack of financial resources or training capacities to infrastructural problems. Nevertheless, providing a structured introduction to the production of radio programmes benefits the volunteers and the radios through increased commitment and ownership of the communities for the radio station, building a diverse programme structure and thereby contributing to a diverse public sphere, ensuring the building of critical media competences among communities, which usually are not represented in the media."
