Non-partisan politics |
| |
ACORAB will engage itself actively in politics of mission journalism for social transformation. However, the politics will not be tied up with political party line. As such, ACORAB espouses absolute neutrality towards partisan politics in its programs and activities. Similarly ACORAB will demand observance of this principle as a condition for the member radio stations to continue to be members and receive support. |
|
Pluralistic democratic norms and values – within the organization and members |
| |
ACORAB respects, observes and promotes pluralistic democratic norms and values within the organization and member radio stations. ACORAB will ensure that the essence of this principle is reflected in its rules, procedures, governance, programming, and management practice. ACORAB will periodically review for the observance to this principle in practice and make necessary adjustments in the rules, system, processes and activities of its board officials, staff and members. |
|
Inclusive |
| |
ACORAB will adopt, strive and espouse for inclusion in its policies and operations. It respects the people, community, and issues that come from diverse social, gender, geographic, ethnic, and economic backgrounds and gives due space to them, but gives special preference to the poor and disadvantaged. The respect for diversity and inclusiveness will be reflected on the staffing, programs, and supports to member radio stations. |
|
Right to information, freedom of expression |
| |
ACORAB will honor, uphold, stand firm, and work actively for promoting and preserving one’s individual right to information and freedom of expression. The same will be upheld at societal and institutional (government, non-government, civil society and private sector organizations) affairs. |
|
Respect all religions and groups but not biased towards any one |
| |
ACORAB respects religious faiths, cultures, practices and traditions of all groups of people and will advocate for equal opportunity for all beliefs and mores. As such it will not discriminate any one positively or negatively on these grounds. However, ACORAB itself will not take side or give preference to any religion or beliefs and demand the same from its members.
ACORAB is committed to work according to this strategy and it is expected that the member stations can also refer to this strategy for developing their own while working with ACORAB. This strategy, however, is a broad roadmap and therefore will be reviewed and improved as per the needs of the member radio stations and the broad community radio environment in Nepal. |
