A SPIDER IN A DEVELOPMENT NET: Community radio in participatory development

Abstract

It took five hours to drive from the Ugandan capital, Kampala, heading west on bumpy, partly tarred roads, through a hilly and lush landscape, before I finally reached Kagadi. From a distance, I could see the high, 80-meter FM mast on a neighbouring hill: a rather startling sight in this rural, marginalized and poorly equipped region.
