An advocacy programme called the Initiative on Building Community Radio in Nigeria was launched in Lagos in November 2003. Implemented within the framework of a continent-wide programme, Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa (CATIA), it was a collaboration of the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) and Panos Institute West Africa (PIWA) in partnership with a local civil society organisation, the Institute for Media and Society (IMS). The initiative instituted a steering committee which articulated a plan of action and began the implementation of activities within the plan. A large participation base subsequently developed for the advocacy which has now been underway for more than five years.
