Ghanaian Radio Stations Adopt HIV/AIDS Programming

Ten radio stations in Ghana are gearing up to broadcast an HIV/AIDS-themed radio soap opera in order to combat the spread of the virus in the country, Ghanaian newspaper Accra Daily Mail/AllAfrica.com reports (allafrica.com, 3/12).

The project is funded by the Ghana AIDS Commission. The stations will broadcast a soap opera, Dudu, which will be translated into six local dialects and address issues ranging from condom use to multiple sex partners in an effort to encourage viewers to protect themselves.

The show will run for a limited number of episodes, with the possibility of being extended after an evaluation.
