Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Twenty-five journalists from various media outlets in South Sudan are currently undergoing training on the pivotal role of media in bolstering citizen participation.<\/p>\n

The two-day training focuses on breaking barriers that impede access to health and education-related information.<\/p>\n

Eye Media in partnership with UNICEF, is conducting the training, bringing together journalists and media stakeholders from diverse institutions across the country.<\/p>\n

Eye Media is a national media organization that manages Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

The training aims to improve access to comprehensive information and strengthen the feedback loop regarding health, nutrition, sanitation, child protection, education, and emergency programs supported by UNICEF and its partners.<\/p>\n

In her remarks, Mary Denis, the Director of Health Education and Promotion at the National Ministry of Health hails journalists for their incredible role in disseminating information to the public.<\/p>\n

She encourages them to inform communities stating that by <\/b>reporting, journalists are contributing to ensuring positive behaviour change in the communities, saving lives.<\/p>\n

This is because Mary says information enables them to make life-saving decisions for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe in the Ministry of Health, acknowledge your responsible journalism. We know that you have a very great role in passing information to the communities,\u201d said Mary.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour role is to strengthen citizens\u2019 participation in closing the feedback loop and also access to integrated information in so many areas: health, nutrition, wash, child protection, education and even emergency,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy reporting, you are also ensuring positive behaviour change in the communities which is a life-saving practice for informed decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen communities are aware, then they will be able to make decisions for themselves and their families\u2019 wellbeing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kerebino Dut from Abyei FM, one of the participants in the training says the knowledge from the training will help his media house to collect feedback from the audience to improve their content.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis training will help so much because the knowledge we are getting here will help us,\u201d said Dut.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be able to conduct feedback collection, determine how to use the feedback to improve our work and enable us to produce new content,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, people (Journalists) who have received this training will go and train other Journalists at the stations\u201d.<\/p>\n

Voice of Freedom\u2019s Program Manager in Magwi, Ongwech William Ating hopes the training will better their reporting on health-related issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis training is very important for us who are brought here as Journalists and media stakeholders,\u201d said Ongwech.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of loopholes when it comes to putting issues and when it comes to the issue of getting feedback from the listeners or our audience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are times that we may not even know what exactly they want or what we are doing and how it impacts them but in this training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be able to understand and we have started understanding that we need to keep intact with them and in this training, we get much on health-related issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
