Media Support Partnership helps counter widespread ignorance of HIV/AIDS through mass media
Mundo Sem Segredos is now being produced and broadcast by local radio stations six of Mozambique’s provinces, as well as carried by the national station Radio Mozambique. This is thanks to additional funding from Mozambique’s Ministry of Education and Culture, facilitated by the Danish aid agency, DANIDA. In the past Mundo Sem Segredos was broadcast weekly in the provinces of Zambezia, Tete and Capo Delgado. Now it is being produced by teenagers also in Sofala, Manica and Maputo provinces. In July 2007, the coordinating team under Project Manager Salvatore Fiorito moved to a new MSP office in Beira so they can reach the new locations more easily.
