In 2004, Search for Common Ground-Sierra Leone, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST), CARE and UNICEF, initiated a radio program called Sisi Aminata – a radio show designed to increase knowledge and discussion about adolescent sexual and reproductive health and related issues among young people. The show is produced in an enquiry-based interactive format between young people and an older female presenter. In the question-answer format, a woman representing an older sister answers young people’s questions about issues of sexual and reproductive health. The answers are then also discussed by a peer group of young people to explore their relevance and analysis
In November and December 2007, Search for Common Ground/Talking Drum Studio undertook an internal learning evaluation of the Sisi Aminata radio program. The objectives of this evaluation were:
- To assess the impacts of Sisi Aminata regarding sexual and reproductive health in Koinadugu and Bombali districts;
- To discover ways in which Sisi Aminata has not been successful; and
- To gather lessons learned about the implementation of the Sisi Aminata program.
