An emergency FM radio service project that has helped people affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Temotu Province last year has successfully reached its end of project time frame.
World Vision has formally handed over the 100 watts FM transmission mobile radio unit to the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation, SIBC, and the National Disaster Management Office, NDMO, after the Emergency Radio Service project closed on 24 December 2013.
A Memorandum of Understanding between World Vision, SIBC and NDMO, was signed by the three parties to formalise the arrangement to have the radio equipment prepositioned at SIBC and have a common understanding on the use and sustainability of the radio equipment and its accessories.
