disseminated on the following radio stations and locations: CBS 88.8 FM to

Kagadi Community radio for Kibaale, Arua One for Arua Voice of Kigezi for
Kabale and Rock Fm for Tororo.
A host of
other radio stations are also broadcasting the MIS project market information.
Most the market information radio programmes on these radio stations are

radio programmes in Rukonjo, Runyankore/Rukiga and English on Grace Radio
