Abstract

The work focuses on communication for local development, the case of the community radio Voz Coop, Bairro de Bagamoio, Maputo in the period from 2001 to 2004. The objective was to evaluate the mechanisms of community participation in decision-making processes decision-making, the forms of CR management with a view to its sustainability and its impact on the lives of communities. As a methodology, we opted for the qualitative perspective, and the monographic method was adopted with the support of bibliographic research, and for data collection, we conducted semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation. From the research carried out, we found that the implantation of a community radio is one of the requirements for the development of the community, inasmuch as it contributes to the access to information regarding the programs of agriculture, health, education, water, combating HIV / AIDS and in several advertisements that were not possible before, such as news of the deaths and disappearances of children. it was also found that community involvement in aspects related to the programs, radio debates, is done only by the group of young volunteers, who are mostly students and who in the exam period reduce their participation to give priority to studies, and during this period there has been a deficient functioning. The cooperative women who were the mentors of the radio, are the ones who have less participation, only know about the issue related to the management mechanisms and, finally, to point out that the biggest obstacle of CR, is in financial sustainability, taking into account that one of lenders are withdrawing, creating a larger financial deficit (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
