Kamka Kura (KK), Youth and Livelihood based Radio Program produced by Equal Access Nepal, is the radio program that is meant for the youth who are seeking for better opportunity and for good and secure future.[1] With a tagline of Exploring Livelihoods, Kamka Kura is a distant learning job skills training radio series designed with the objective to help youth of Nepal, especially for those young people who are most disadvantaged regarding education and opportunities, to understand how to identify, prepare for, participate in and benefit from locally available skills training programs and more importantly, how to seize opportunities without need of a new training.

Kamka Kura disseminates information regarding livelihood issues (i.e. Agriculture, technical vocational education and skills, Livestock, Education) through the means of drama, chat, interview, success stories, feature, reports, letters etc. It also creates linkages with local services providers.

KK began broadcasting on May 16, 2007 and broadcast its final episode on September 1, 2010 through Radio Nepal and in first week of September through other FM stations. It was broadcast over 36 local radio stations nationwide, both in urban and rural areas including State radio, Radio Nepal.

From October 2009 - March 2010, with support from Internews Europe,[2] Kamka Kura produced and broadcast programs on themes of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and Micro-finance. The program aimed to encourage information seeking behavior among micro finance/small and medium enterprises and build awareness and capacity among micro finance institutions to simply critical business information.

From June - August 2010, Kamka Kura incorporated issues related to Skills for Employability with support from British Council.[3] Issues like importance of vocational skills, information on some vocational and technical areas, importance of skill testing and other skills like entrepreneurship, communication skills, presentation skills etc. were included along with the "Learning English" section which aimed to teach English for work to its listeners.

Till date, more than 20 listeners' clubs of Kamka Kura have been formed spontaneously by its listeners. It also receives around 200 letters and emails every month on different livelihood issues.

History

Saathi Sanga Manka Kura (SSMK) is popular youth radio show on life skills and HIV & AIDS.[4] Based on Knowledge, Attitude, Practice and Skills (KAPS) study and other frequent qualitative studies, UNICEF developed an innovative radio program in Nepali: “Saathi Sanga Man Ka Kura ( SSMK ) ” or “Chatting with my best friend” or in short SSMK in 2001.[5] It is the centerpiece of Unicef's communication initiative for young people which is the first radio program produced by the young people and for the young people in Nepal. It is designed to be interactive with listeners as a peer who speaks their mind without moral judgment. The program’s popularity has often been assessed by its listeners through feedback and letters in terms of its non-judgmental, confidential and open platform nature, where anyone can open their heart out on issues deeply related to them.

SSMK has won many national and international prestigious awards on Information communication technology or ICTs including Global Junior Challenge Award,[6] International Children Broadcasting Day Award[7] and many more.

SSMK receives around 1400 letters and 200 emails every month on various issues that matters to young people of Nepal. Among most of the letters, concerns on livelihood and employment opportunities are always received in high number. Nepal has unemployment rate of over 42% and its per capita income is barely $350. So most of youths either migrate to foreign countries or city areas in search of opportunities and jobs.

According to many studies and assessments, lack of opportunities and unemployment are the major problem being faced by Nepalese youth. Because of lack of opportunities, young people are compelled to migrate to urban areas or foreign countries. Government estimates that around 600 young people leave for abroad every day in search of work and opportunities. This data excludes the number of young people who leave without any documentation through India. Because of lack of opportunities, young people not only migrate for opportunities but also are facing other problems like frustration resulting various social problems.

In the view of high rates of youth migrating to urban areas or to foreign countries because of lack of opportunities and unemployment in Nepal, SSMK started its spin off radio programme on livelihood called Kamka Kura on May 2007.
