The Zambia Community Media Forum (ZaCoMeF) was set up as an umbrella body representing the Zambian community media sector (newspaper/radio/TV, drama, and related media). This is because the community media sector is unique and different from the main stream media and therefore has its own specific challenges and needs. ZaCoMeF caters for all community media initiatives and all forms of community c
ommunication (including drama) and is all inclusive and open to all media actors in Zambia. The Forum serves as a broker and go-between between the community media members, donors and other stakeholders. Community Media Definition
ZaCoMeF considers community media as those interest or faith-based communication initiatives which serve a specific group or geographical area, are accessible to all and actively encourage and support community participation. Vision
ZaCoMeF envisions an empowered community media sector that is self sustained and promotes and facilitates community talk-back and participation in community development.
