2015 SD057 Promoting Child Rights through Media

Sudan suffered decades of civil war, during which millions of people were killed or displaced. The conflict destroyed the infrastructure of the country, leading to an acute lack of basic services for children and young people. This project - a part of the Conn@ct Now initiative - sees children across Sudan trained in media production techniques to create content for broadcast on issues that affect their lives. The activities aim to boost the skills of participating children and young people and increase their participation in the wider society.
