VOR Radio aims to enhance social, political and cultural cohesion in Sri Lanka through podcasts and radio productions that feature the ideas and opinions of citizens rarely featured in mainstream media. Content is in Sinhala, Tamil and English with a special focus on civil society initiatives and perspectives on peace, reconciliation and democracy.

We have received over 700,000 pageviews on our site and served over 40 gigabytes of podcasts since our launch in late 2006.

Some of the latest additions to our growing collection of podcasts from Sri Lanka are:

Coastal Rising 
Young Asia Television (YATV) has brought together district-based teams of journalists and civil society activists in the East and South of Sri Lanka to highlight tsunami recovery from the community perspective. The series draws attention to how citizens, local government, relief agencies and the donor community have risen to the challenge of rebuilding livelihoods and infrastructure along the devastated coast. See http://radio.voicesofpeace.lk/page.php?0/v/368 or search for Coastal Rising on the VOR Radio site to get a wealth of podcasts and content over the past 10 weeks.

Mobile talking: Cellphones, Conflict Resolution and Human Rights
A podcast with Radio New Internationalist, Australia on mobile phones, human rights and peacebuilding in Sri Lanka. http://radio.voicesofpeace.lk/page.php?0/v/383

Humanitarian Situation in Sri Lanka Deteriorating
A report on the worsening humanitarian conditions in Sri Lanka. http://radio.voicesofpeace.lk/page.php?0/v/375

Real Voices Radio
Productions in Sinhala and Tamil on social issues and grassroots democracy by community Media Houses set up in the South and East of Sri Lanka. See http://radio.voicesofpeace.lk/page.php?0/v/380 for one podcast of dozens available on the site.


There's already over 250+ hours worth of programming on the website. We strongly encourage local and international CSOs and NGOs to provide us with more content on Sri Lanka, which can be hosted on VOR Radio absolutely free of charge.

VOR Radio is linked with Groundviews - http://www.groundviews.lk - Sri Lanka's first and only tri-lingual citizen journalism website.
