PROGRAMS

BROSDI has three main programs: -

1.

This we do through enabling farmers develop local content for agricultural digital dissemination as well as create new opportunities, identify community knowledge brokers, and routine knowledge sharing and dissemination of information ... see project website, audio blog and text blog.
   
   
2. Health program - Aims at creating awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues among the rural communities with particular focus on the youth. This we do through enabling access to information through open group discussions and a blog where youth can ask questions and receive answers related to their sexual and reproductive health rights so as to enable them make positive choices regarding their own sexuality, reproduction and behavioral change.
