2017.08.01 フィジー共和国向けの中波ラジオ局アンテナ、 送信機納入完了

独立行政法人日本国際協力機構（JICA）の無償資金協力案件にてフィジー共和国向け中波ラジオ局アンテナ建設・送信機納入が2017年夏に無事完了しました。フィジー国民は広範な地域に点在する離島に居住しているなかで、近年の気候変動による豪雨、サイクロンなどの自然災害が大きな脅威となってきています。しかし、住民への避難の呼びかけや情報伝達を行う手段として有効であったラジオ放送は古くに作られたものであり、品質の改善が求められていた為、この度、日本援助により新設のアンテナ建設、送信機設置が行われました。本援助によって、ロツマ島を除くフィジー共和国全土にラジオ放送を提供できるようになりました。

 

Successful Completion of the Project for the Rehabilitation of the Medium Wave Radio Transmission in the Republic of Fiji

We, NBK Corporation, are pleased to announce that the Project for the Rehabilitation of the Medium Wave Radio Transmission, Grant Aid provided by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has successfully been completed in August 2017.

This project aims to provide appropriate radio broadcasting services to local people throughout the islands, except Rotuma, by rehabilitating medium radio broadcasting equipment with the support of Grant Aid from the Government of Japan. The former radio transmission and antenna system, which had been severely deteriorated after years of its construction, were required quality improvement.

Fiji Islands in recent years have been threatened by the frequency of natural disasters, particularly devastating cyclones and a downpour that many associate with climate change. New medium radio broadcasting equipment are dedicated to improving disaster risk management in the country, through transmission of information and evacuation warning for local people.
