(ERGO) – This week (25 February-3 March 2021), water shortage and drought conditions were the dominant themes in the calls recorded on Radio Ergo’s independent feedback platform, especially coming from communities across the north. The problems caused by locusts across many regions also remained a top concern for callers. Many callers spoke of sick and dying livestock. There was an increase in the number of calls about Coronavirus, with callers acknowledging the second wave of the virus and asking questions about symptoms and prevention.
The feedback platform is open for listeners to call in on the topic of their choice. We listen to and transcribe the messages received and compile weekly reports, as a way of sharing these local voices among a wider community, including national and international decision-makers and responders.
