organizations to harness a community radio's potential
to contribute to local development. The goals of the Radio
Alfaro Initiative are: Facilitating dialogue on local
development needs and renewing the sense of community
identity. Strengthening local Community Based Organizations
(CBO's) capacities to provide services and mobilize
constituencies for change. Supporting Radio Alfaro's
operational capabilities in order to promote the
station's sustainability and further involvement in
