CXB: Soiyi Hota - correct information through short audio programmes

Covid-19 has resulted in restrictions to the amount of face-to-face engagement that is possible with Rohingya communities at the moment. There is still a strong need to deliver accurate, actionable information to refugees, and the preference of the community is to receive this information through clear and understandable audio formats. During the Covid-19 restrictions, BBC Media Action is therefore producing a new regular audio product, Soiyi Hota ('correct information') focused on information about Covid-19 and other critical issues. This product is short (less than 5 minutes per episode) and designed for loudspeaker dissemination or one-to-one engagement.
