The RFPA Awards recognise the best radio programmes that contribute to
peace in Africa. The RFPA Awards particularly celebrate radio
programmes that help to reduce group and community tensions, enhance
and give value to shared interests, break down listener stereotypes,
or provide positive role models.
The 2012 Awards are open to all African radio broadcasters, both men
and women. Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
• RFPA Gender Award;
• RFPA Youth Award; and
• RFPA Jury’s Special Award.
Three prizes will be awarded in each category. The first prize is 600
Euros, the second 300 Euros, and the third 150 Euros. The winning
recipients will be honoured at an award ceremony.
Specific entry requirements include:
• Programmes can be in any language spoken on the African
continent, but must be accompanied by a translation in either English
or French.
• Programmes must be a minimum of 20 minutes in duration.
• Radio programmes must have been broadcast between January 1 and
