ARDA Development Communication Inc.

ARDA Development Communication Inc. The African Radio Drama Association is a non-profit, non- governmental organization, based in Lagos Nigeria with headquarters in Harare, Zimbabwe.

ARDA was conceived during a symposium of African radio experts in November 1994, in Harare, Zimbabwe. ARDA is essentially a development communication organization, which was inaugurated after assessing the development communication needs of the continent. ARDAs’ aim is to use radio and drama, which is very effective and a highly accessible medium, through which information and education could be p

assed to the illiterate and low-income populace who depend on oral narrative communication. Having identified both radio and drama to be most accessible and effective media tools for popular and pervasive communication, ARDA undertakes to develop them to very high standards for the ultimate benefit of the society. In addition to our flagship productions and broadcasting, ARDA provides technical assistance and consultancy services to sister NGOs and international development agencies. Over the years ARDA has collaborated with UNICEF, WWF, PPFN, VOA and Developing Countries Farm Radio Network, Canada. Presently ARDA is collaborating with JHU-CCP, NUHRI and CCPN. Twitter

Happy Children’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the joy, innocence, and limitless potential of every Nigerian child. Guided by this year’s theme, “Future Now: Promoting Inclusion for Every Nigerian Child,” we are reminded that every child deserves equal opportunity, care, and a voice in shaping the future.

Let’s continue to build a society where every child is seen, supported, and included to learn, grow, and thrive.

She was a child.
And somehow, the first question was, “What did she do?” instead of, “Who hurt her?”

Victim-blaming starts long before violence happens. It grows every time we teach girls to protect themselves instead of teaching people to respect and protect others.

She didn’t ask for it. She couldn’t have. She was a child.

Believe survivors. Protect children. Hold abusers accountable.

We don’t talk about kidney health enough, and honestly? That needs to change.

Most of us won’t think about our kidneys until something goes wrong—and by then, they’ve usually been struggling for a while. The thing about these organs is that they don’t ask for much. But they do need us to pay attention.

Save this post, and let's start right here.

Happy International Day of the Boy Child! 💙

This is a beautiful reminder that raising whole, healthy boys means giving them permission to feel, to dream, to question, and to lead with both strength and gentleness. When we invest in boys — their confidence, their character, their emotional intelligence — we invest in the kind of men and communities the world needs.

Here's to every boy finding his voice, his values, and his way.

Words have power. In times of tension, how we communicate can either bridge the gap or fuel the fire.

At ARDA, we believe that preventing a crisis starts with intentional, honest, and accountable communication. Slide through to explore 4 essential steps to de-escalate situations and promote peace in our communities.

1️⃣ Listen to understand, not just to respond.
2️⃣ Verify facts before you hit share.
3️⃣ Truth is the ultimate antidote to panic.
4️⃣ Responsibility builds trust and long-term resolution.

Let’s commit to being part of the solution.

Which of these do you find most challenging in the heat of the moment? Let’s discuss below.

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and dedication of workers who drive progress in our communities.

We recognise that decent work is not just about earning a living. It is about dignity, safety, inclusion, and opportunity for all. From the formal sector to informal spaces, every worker deserves fair treatment, protection, and the chance to thrive.

As we mark Workers’ Day, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting safe working environments, fair labour practices, and inclusive opportunities that leave no one behind.
Because when workers are valued, communities grow stronger.
