PIC trains National Language Broadcasters on Best Practices on Effective Communication

National Language Broadcasters in the North West Region have been trained by the Office of the Public Independent Conciliator, providing them with tools on best ways to communicate the missions, role and functioning of the Office of the Public Independent Conciliator – North West Region.

It was an opportunity for National Language broadcasters to identify common grounds to partner with the Office of the Public Independent Conciliator to better serve the public by relaying good information to the public.

The workshop served as a means to partner with the Office of the Public Independent Conciliator to realize its missions, while educating the participants on their key role in enforcing ethical values, respect of rights and freedoms through radio programs which they will produce for their different audiences.
