The failure of decentralization reforms increased governance problems. The Congolese media find themselves in a precarious situation with limited resources. The role of the media in citizen engagement is being questioned.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, the emphasis was on strengthening the quality of public service information. Fondation Hirondelle set up an information and awareness programme on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Forty programmes were broadcast by 108 radio partners in five national languages. They focused on the fight against misinformation about vaccines, and on the social consequences of Covid-19 in the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>This awareness campaign is very pertinent, especially for us, the elderly. I appreciate the presenters\u2019 mastery of the Tshiluba language, unlike some programmes where the language is used improperly. [&#8230;] We must maintain these programmes to alert the population.<\/strong><br \/>\nNestor Kabongo, father of a family in Kananga, Kasai-Central.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fondation Hirondelle also supported media and professional media organizations. In particular, 40 radio journalists in South Kivu were trained in various journalism techniques. This project includes a strong gender dimension, with support to women journalists\u2019 organizations to develop their advocacy capacities, particularly on the place and image of women in the media.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, activities had to be reduced due to lack of funding. DRC schedules presidential and parliamentary elections for Dec 2023. Fondation Hirondelle will produce and broadcast specific local programs and support media partners all over the country.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;396&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;355&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1652796322180{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fullWidthImageContainer&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;floatingColumn&#8221;][vc_column_text]Active in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since 2002, Fondation Hirondelle continues its efforts to inform the population.
