The final stop on our multi-day mission to Togo: the city of Notsé, located 100 km north of the capital, Lomé. It was here that we met with the teams from Moisson Finale Radio.

Working Closely with the Teams and Listeners This on-site visit provided an opportunity for fruitful and constructive discussions. We were able to speak with management and the technical and editorial teams who keep the station running on a daily basis.

To better gauge the impact of radio in the region, we also brought together a panel of listeners. Their valuable insights helped us gain a concrete understanding of the vital role Moisson Finale plays in their daily lives.

Tangible Support for the Future To recognize the work they’ve done and encourage the teams to continue growing, we weren’t going to leave empty-handed: we were delighted to present them with studio equipment. A little technical boost to help them keep producing high-quality shows!

Radio Albarka Sokodé

Live from the Field: Radio Albarka, a Christian Beacon in a Muslim Land

,

Located in the heart of central Togo, the city of Sokodé stands out for its strong identity: a major commercial hub, it is also one of the country’s principal centers of Islam. It was in this unique geographical and religious context that the delegation from FOMECAF and Médias Ébène made a stop to support Radio Albarka.

Welcomed with exceptional warmth by Elisabeth Koudjoukalo, the station’s director, and her entire team (journalists and technicians), the delegates were able to witness the resilience of this media outlet. Operating in a radio landscape dominated by Muslim religious stations, Albarka stands out for the quality of its programming and its message of peace.

Day-to-day operations at the radio station, however, remain a struggle. Between an unreliable power supply and the burden of broadcasting taxes, the obstacles are numerous. Yet, thanks to Elisabeth’s rigorous and visionary leadership, the station is holding its own. To support this momentum, the delegation presented the station with a new mixing console—equipment that is vital for modernizing the studio and ensuring the station’s long-term viability.

Radio Albarka proves that with determination and sound management, a Christian media outlet can not only survive but also have a lasting impact in French-speaking Africa.

Live from the Field: Radio Réveil in Bassar (Togo)

,

A delegation from FOMECAF and Médias Ébène paid a strategic visit to Radio Réveil in Bassar, Togo. While the sadness over the founder’s passing remains, the focus was firmly on the future and the long-term sustainability of this essential communication tool.

The highlight of this mission was the upgrade of the station’s equipment. A crucial donation—including a new mixing console—was presented to the technical team. This modern equipment is intended to ensure better broadcast quality and guarantee uninterrupted signal transmission for listeners in the region.

At the same time, an in-depth assessment of the radio station’s “health” was conducted. Experts analyzed the programming schedule and the quality of the content. The findings are encouraging: the radio station enjoys exceptional social vitality. The testimony of a Muslim teacher, now a regular contributor to the programs, perfectly illustrates the station’s editorial success: it has succeeded in becoming a civic-minded and inclusive media outlet.

This visit, which focused on both technical and human aspects, confirms that Radio Réveil, despite the challenges it has faced, has what it takes to continue its mission of public service and social cohesion in Togo.

Médias Ébène's reach is built on two strategic pillars:

  • Training: As demonstrated by our recent national seminar in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), we are strengthening the skills of communications professionals.
  • Technical and Logistical Support: We support religious radio stations in French-speaking Africa by providing them with specialized equipment.

In late 2025, a container loaded with studio and FM equipment arrived in Lomé. Shortly thereafter, our teams traveled throughout northern Togo to support four FOMECAF partner radio stations. Take a look at photos from our first stop at Radio Missionnaire de Kara.
