“Providing accurate, regular, and timely information on life-impacting issues such as Covid-19 is vital for everyone, but especially for vulnerable groups such as displaced persons,” explains Dr. Emma Heywood. “Radio is often their main source of information. Working with a reliable Burkinabe radio source and through active collaboration, we hope not only to raise awareness among these people of best practices relating to the Covid-19 crisis, but also to ensure that the voices of these communities are heard. ”
