This document outlines a research initiative to study sustainability in community radio (CR) stations in the region. It aims to develop a definition of sustainability through participatory engagement with CR stations. Key objectives are to evolve indicators for sustainability for CR stations and examine the relationship between good practice parameters and financial sustainability. The research methodology involves purposive selection of CR institutions from different geographies and ages. Data collection tools include interviews, participant observation, mind maps, diaries and surveys. Findings will be analyzed participatorily and disseminated to establish community reflection on sustainability in CR stations.
