About DTM
We are Development Through Media (DTM), among the first development oriented media organizations to set up in Kenya. DTM arose in 1997 as a local idea in response to challenges faced by independent media practitioners.
We proudly target the promotion of development information in an effort to fill the gaps left by mainstream media where issues that are crucial to disadvantaged and vulnerable members of society are often not considered worthy of coverage. This has resulted in the exclusion of a cross-section of society where women, children and youth for example, remain marginalized as their actions and experiences rarely attract headline news or sustained in-depth media engagement in a manner that can bring about positive change.
Thus DTM specifically works towards policy reforms, capacity building, awareness raising and attitude change through the Media in general and audio-visual media in particular.
DTM works mainly in Kenya and also undertakes assignments within the East Africa region and at the international level.
Our Vision
DTM envisions a well-informed and knowledgeable society that is inclusive and just
Our Mission
DTM’s mission is committed to developing expertise among Media, Communication, PR, film and Arts professionals and establishments in designing and implementing strategies for addressing information needs of development programmes covering diverse areas, so as to facilitating citizens’ effective participation in their aspirations
About Deliberations
A lot of work by CSOs, other development actors and think tanks involve the use of workshops and meetings, where intense deliberations are carried out for the purposes of improving delivery of programmes. Often though, reach out through such meetings is limited only to those able to attend them. “Deliberations” is therefore, the Radio Baraza programme dedicated to improving outreach by making these important deliberations accessible to a wide array of audiences including programme targets and the public at large, at both the local and international levels. In this way, development initiatives will be better understood and hence inspire effective and sustainable delivery of results.
