ABSTRACT

Chapter 13 recalls the debate following the announcement by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) that it was keen on introducing performance evaluation of CR stations. After some discussions, MIB agreed, in lieu of an external evaluation of the sector, and in the spirit of co-learning, to a process of self-assessment and peer review by CR stations. MIB adopted the three toolkits for self-assessment that had been developed by then as part of what it called a “peer review” process. This chapter examines the participatory processes that went into the development of one of these toolkits, i.e. the Community Radio Continuous Improvement Toolkit (CR-CIT).
