Due to the low literacy rate and lack of basic infrastructure, mainstream media reach only few people in the hilly and mountainous areas of Nepal. In these parts of the country,community radios play a particularly important role in disseminating information. They are the most effective media to enable people to participate in policy and decision-making processes, and to protect and promote the diversity of their cultural expressions. And they are in the front line defending freedom of expression and right to information.
