ARO: New communication strategy

In April 2008, the Africa Regional Office (ARO) completed a new communication strategy for Scouting in Africa for the 2008 – 2011 triennium. ARO's Communications Unit proposed the 11-Point master plan in a bid to address communication issues in the region.

The proposal comprises of 11 projects, which include among others:

  • A Media Centre for Scouting in Africa (Africa Scout Radio, Africa Scout Television, Print Section, etc)
  • Appointment of an international figure as a goodwill ambassador for Scouting in Africa
  • The appointment of Public Relations Commissioners in all NSOs
  • Portuguese Service Desk (PSD) for Lusophone NSOs
  • A Media database
  • A training programme on Communication in the region
  • etc.

''It's now clear where we are heading as far as communication is concerned in the Africa Scout Region'' Commented Elzette Balgobin, Manager for the Indian Ocean Scout Sub-Region, reacting to the launch of the strategy. The strategy proposes an overall evaluation exercise at the end of the triennium.
