Building Media Resilience in African SIDS: Case studies from Comoros and São Tomé and Príncipe

Excerpt from unesco.org

In Comoros and São Tomé and Príncipe, two African island nations regularly exposed to extreme weather, media outlets are key actors in informing the public during emergencies and fostering a culture of prevention.

With support from a UNESCO initiative carried out in partnership with the African Union of Broadcasting, Al-Watwan in Comoros and the national radio of São Tomé and Príncipe are taking concrete steps to institutionalise disaster preparedness, shifting from reactive reporting into proactive resilience-building.
