3. Introduction

4. □ Salam Watandar is a nation wide radio network. □ SW is connected with 44 local radio stations in 26 provinces across Afghanistan

5. Fix It Program  Bridge between government and communities: “Fix It” SW links communities with government to enable them to find their own solutions to their problems.  This program demonstrates how local media can be a catalyst for change.

6. Current Process  After people call in and described their problems to Fix It program, the producers will track that problem until it’s going to be solved.  They will meet the relevant responsible of that problem (Normally Government), and address the problems to that responsible and then they will keep track.  After the problem is solved, they will announce in Fix It program that the problem is solved and will seek for another problem.

7. Challenges  Tens of Missed calls everyday.  Breaking the promises by government regarding solution of the problem.  Non-automated answering result in heavy workload.  Less output

8. Solutions  Automated system for collecting the data.  Reporting back to the local people.  The same information to be synchronized in public online mapping area (Ushahidi), so anyone can have access to the map and see the number of the problems/solutions in different areas/communities.
