program details
Sodhikhoji, a collaborative production of Antenna with 21 local radio stations outside Kathmandu Valley began in December 2004. The key objective of the programme was to help understand conflicts evolved in local communities, linking central policies and encouraging local level conflict mediation initiatives. The programme provided a platform to find local solutions to local conflicts.
Sodhikhoji seeked to identify the responsibilities of local civil society, government line agencies and local governments to implement the policy formulated in the centre to solve impacts of armed conflict in the local level. The programme also demanded commitment from the participants of the discussion to implement the central policy.
Sodhikhoji was an hour-long radio magazine partly produced by Antenna covering policies in the centre and partly produced and packaged by Antenna’s two part time reporters in each of 21 FM stations. It comprised of three program components:
| |
 |
A 15-minute segment Niti ka Kura, packaged by Antenna, with interview of policy makers and influencers, analysis of policy and programs of the government, INGO’s and NGO’s etc.

 |
A 15-minute segment Raithane Boli, collected by the two reporters from the communities which have FM coverage.
|

 |
A 30-minutes discussion known as Kachahari, with members of local government, civic and community groups, listener group and affected people.
