2004 Evaluation of Search for Common Ground Activities in Sierra Leone

This full-programme evaluation was conducted in August by Paul Everett, Tennyson Williams and Mary Myers. The overall goal of the Talking Drum Studio programme is to build a tolerant, inclusive society for a sustainable peace. Some of the key findings include:

• Through its programming, TDS has been very successful in insuring that a flow of national information is available at the local level.



• TDS’ media programmes and similar community radio strands have been exposing issues relating to governance and development and stimulating discussions around them.



• TDS should consider developing a strategy to promote awareness and appreciation of the media among parliamentarians perhaps by forming an alliance with an appropriate parliamentary body.



• TDS’ work building alliances to engage specific issues and problems has enabled diverse and sometimes opposing groups to come together to address their common concerns
