About Us

Sudan Radio Service (SRS) is Sudan’s first independent broadcast provider of news and information. SRS works in English, Arabic, and 8 Sudanese languages, and focuses exclusively on issues and events in Sudan, making it the favorite radio station of many Sudanese around the world.

All SRS programming is produced by an all-Sudanese staff of radio professionals working at our main offices in Nairobi, Kenya, as well as bureaus in Juba and Khartoum. SRS also gathers news with help from Sudanese correspondents across Sudan. SRS will relocate entirely to Sudan once conditions allow.

SRS' first broadcast was made on 30 July 2003. Initial broadcasts were only an hour long and consisted of brief news summaries, music, and introductory messages. Today, SRS is on the air 6 hours per day and programs include detailed news and informational content in the areas of current events, civic education, health, agriculture and animal husbandry, business and economic issues, and much more. We also feature music and entertainment programming.

SRS’ current lineups of languages are English, Arabic, simple (Juba) Arabic, Dinka, Zande, Moru, Nuer, Bari, Shilluk, and Toposa.

SRS is a project of Education Development center, an international NGO, with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Toposa language programming is supported by VSF-Germany.
