Welcome

After ten years of work in the field of radio and conflict transformation I felt that it was time to start my own company, and Radio for Peace Building (RPB)* is the result. The company provides consultancy services and training on the use of radio for the peaceful transformation of conflicts, in pre-, current or post-conflict environments. We work for NGOs (non-profits), governments and others, and have experience across the world, from Indonesia to Venezuela, and Liberia to Ukraine. 

Testimonials from former clients are on a separate page.

Between 1999 and 2006 I worked for Search for Common Ground (SFCG), first as Director of Studio Ijambo in Burundi, and subsequently as Director of Radio for the whole organisation, based in Brussels. During that time, and since, I've worked as consultant, facilitator and/or trainer in seventeen different countries for the organisations listed below. I have trained ten peace building radio soap opera teams in nine different countries, trained talkshow hosts from over twenty different countries in peace building techniques, coordinated and participated in media sector mappings in six African countries, and co-written the extremely successful Radio Talkshows for Peacebuilding - a guide, amongst many other things (see Testimonials below). I proposed and set up the Radio for Peacebuilding Africa project (www.radiopeaceafrica.org) for SFCG in 2004.
