Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Babacar Cisse expressed the hope of seeing the regional and community radio contribute to creating a peaceful environment for presidential election. {« During the electoral process, it should also serve a place for discussions relecting different opinions within the framework of a public debate. It should also broadcast messages of peace and acceptance of each other's differences »}, said the UNDP Resident Representative.
He also expressed the hope that « Radio Cavally'' which will broadcast over an area of 11,265 km² and cover Guiglo, Bloléquin, Toulépleu and Taï, will {« from now on reach Ivorians who are on the other side of the border in order to sensitise them and encourage them to return »}.
Be assured that our radio is going to broadcast messages of peace
The president of the Regional Council, Dagobert Banzio, - the happy beneficiary of the UNDP funding - expressed his gratitude to the United Nations for its multiform assistance to the people of Cavally. {« Radio is an important instrument of sensitisation, education, training, and bringing people together in order to encourage them to work for the development in their region. Be assured that our radio will broadcast messages of peace, reconciliation and social cohesion for the well-being of all the inhabitants of Cavally »}, said Mr. Banzio, in response to the hope expressed by the UNDP Resident Representative.
In additon to the radio, other structures built by the Regional Council, such as the conference hall and its newly-renovated headquarters, were also inaugurated.
