Afghanistan: Raising Awareness of Risk through Radio Drama

This is a disaster risk communication project by TearFund targeting local communities. Disaster risk reduction messages are integrated into the story lines of the very successful BBC educational radio program "New Home, New Life". Objectives of the project are: (1) to raise community awareness of hazards and disaster risks; (2) to promote understanding of hazards and communities’ vulnerabilities; and (3) to help communities enhance their capacities to address vulnerabilities.
