Development Media International (DMI) Radio Producers Jobs in Kenya

Development Media International (DMI) Radio Producers Jobs in Kenya
Development Media International uses the mass media to promote health and improve lives in the developing world.
DMI believes that knowing how to protect one's health and the health of one's children is a fundamental human right.
Working with local broadcasters and health authorities, we equip people with this knowledge and motivate them to change their behaviour. This can result in dramatic improvements in public health.
DMI's staff have led some of the world's largest and most successful health campaigns in recent years. They have experience in 30 countries across Africa,
Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, as senior managers within the BBC and other leading media organisations.
DMI was created to distil this accumulated experience and pioneer a new, far more cost-effective and sustainable way of conducting media campaigns. DMI's systems have been formally endorsed by the World Health Organisation.
DMI's projects are all rigorously evaluated by independent bodies, such as the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Because every dollar spent on media is a dollar that could be spent on medicines or nurses it's crucial to test whether campaigns are having a significant impact on behaviour.
As well as specialising in the management of major media projects DMI conducts short-term consultancies on request.
