Location	Khoun District, Xiengkhouang Province, Laos
Introduction	This project is to increase access to information, in particular for ethnic people and vulnerable groups. It will also increase the voice and participation of local communities in the production of relevant information for their own community. This project is a one year pilot, which will also help provide a better understanding of what sort of information is available to people in their local communities, where do people look for information, what sort of information they want, and how to better respond to their needs. This will be achieved through: the establishment of a local radio station in Khoun district; news making trainings of public information officers at provincial and district level; an audience survey of information needs and demands from the local community; and news making training, managing and coaching to community volunteers in Khoun.
