The TOKE project developed community-based information and citizen mobilization in the regions of Tozeur and Kébili. We worked to develop freedom of expression and increase understanding and discussion of local and regional issues. We did this by working with community radios to build their capacities and professionalise their work. As such, the project has contributed to strengthening community radios in producing local information and enabling citizens to express themselves through innovative radio programming.
The project also focused on media and information literacy for young people from 4 Youth Centers in Tozeur and Kebili. We worked to develop critical thinking and strengthen their capacity to prioritize continuous flows of information published online as well as exchange and discuss current affairs in their regions.
