UNDP launches radio campaign

JAKARTA: The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and
Indonesian government launched on Wednesday a radio campaign to
promote Millennium Development Goals and the country's measures
to deal with poverty.

The program will be broadcasted live by state radio RRI every
Monday at 5 p.m. starting from Sept. 27 and private station 68H
every Wednesday at 9 a.m. starting from Sept. 15 across the
country for three months.

Listeners will be involved in the program, which will talk
about various issues, including cheap but quality elementary
education, clean water for slum areas and high risked HIV/AIDS
groups.

"The Millennium Goals is the obligation of the government for
the people," UN special envoy for the Millennium Goals Erna
Witoelar said in the statement. "People need to know about the
goals and the government's commitment to reaching them in
2015."--JP
