When disaster strikes, be it conflict, disease outbreaks, or natural disasters; affected communities often lack access to timely, accurate information. Rumors fill the void. Fear escalates. And misinformation can become more dangerous than the crisis itself.

That’s where MECOHEDI steps in.

Our mobile radio units and community broadcasting teams are trained to respond within hours of an emergency, delivering content that:

• Debunks harmful rumors
• Shares safety protocols and relief updates
• Offers psychosocial support through storytelling and interviews
• Connects people to local aid services and helplines

In a recent flood emergency, MECOHEDI deployed radio vans to five affected communities. With pre-recorded updates in local languages, expert interviews, and phone-in sessions, we reached over 25,000 people in just three days.

Strategic Approach:

• We partner with local radio stations and NGOs for instant access and verified content.
• We prioritize two-way communication, giving communities the chance to ask questions and provide feedback.
• We focus on inclusive messaging, ensuring that women, youth, and people with disabilities are represented and informed.

Lasting Impact:
Even after the immediate crisis ends, the trust we build through emergency communication becomes a foundation for ongoing engagement. People remember who showed up and who spoke to them with care, clarity, and respect.

Why It Matters:
In a crisis, communication isn’t secondary—it’s lifesaving. Radio gives us a way to reach people when other systems fail. It offers not just instructions, but hope.
