Although numerous resources for community, associative, local and rural radio stations exist, they are scattered. How many hours are spent on the Internet to find something…often in vain! For sure, a lot of time could be saved if all this information could be gathered on one unique site. On top of that, it would be an additional gain if this information was selected and if this was done in an independent spirit. TRRAACE gathers useful information and resources at the benefit of associative, community, rural and local African radio stations. TRRAACE makes them available and accessible to these radios in Africa to facilitate and reinforce their work and performance.

TRRAACE proposes a presentation, and when applicable the link to the respective Internet site:

	- African networks of community, associative, rural and local radios stations
