Organisational Capacity Statement
IRN is a membership network of 40 community, independent and private radio stations across Sierra Leone’s 16 Districts that collaborate to nationally broadcast trustworthy, impartial news and issue-based radio programs. These independent stations have excellent coverage of the nation surpassing any radio outfit in Sierra Leone. IRN uses public forums, trainings, regular radio programming and election coverage reporting to enhance the public’s knowledge of electoral processes, responsibilities of elected officials and voters and current political debates. The platform is also used to provide education on national issues and embark on public education campaigns.
