Modern media development – Zambia’s Komboni Radio is organizing a remote network of solar powered broadcasting stations and distributing thousands of solar powered radios. This is needed due to climate change and electric reliability problems. It’s also needed to provide the basic human right of access to information, according to CEO Lesa Kasoma.
