REALIZING THE POWER OF CHOICE REACHING AROUND THE WORLD TO ENTERTAIN, EDUCATE, EMPOWER
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
CELEBRATING TODAY, FOCUSED ON TOMORROW PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
WILLIAM N. RYERSON Founder and President, Population Media Center
PMC’s dramas change the lives of the audience, but they also change PMC as our experience and expertise grows. It’s true again this year, as PMC’s work impacted millions of people and prepared us for new or expanding projects around the globe. Our US drama, East Los High, continues to be a toprated TV show on Hulu.com addressing an array of reproductive health and social issues for Latino teens. We have been signed for season three, which launches in July 2015. This success is leading us to plan new programs for other high-need populations in the US. Stay tuned as the planning for these gets under way in the coming year. Our radio drama, Zoukoutap, in Haiti addressing unplanned parenthood and child slavery, two closely related issues, also saw tremendous success. It was rebroadcast due to audience demand and has led to the launch of a follow-on drama, Zoukoutap season two, in 2015. The success of these programs is very exciting, but our emphasis remains in Africa, where fertility rates are the highest and where other indicators, like poverty and the status of girls and women, are the worst.

In Africa, as in much of the developing world, the reasons for non-use of family planning methods by those who don’t want a pregnancy are driven by misinformation about safety and effectiveness, fatalism, and various forms of opposition. Cultural and informational barriers that deny people family planning require effective communication strategies. We have launched new dramas in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and both are attracting huge audiences. We are broadcasting our second drama in Rwanda, our fourth drama in Nigeria, and have now broadcast eight dramas in Ethiopia. Consistent programming year after year is essential to bring about major changes in the social norms we address. Improving the status of women doesn’t happen overnight. But importantly, change does happen. My heartfelt gratitude goes to all donors, partners, our worldwide staff, and volunteers who have joined together to create real, substantial change. I look to the next year with excitement, even in the face of great global challenges, because I know this work continues to create a better and more sustainable world. I invite you to join us in the coming year.
IT’S SHOWTIME, WITH A TWIST
PMC’S EXPERTISE CREATES REAL SOCIAL CHANGE
SERIAL DRAMAS How can entertaining and fun serial dramas, often called soap operas, change the world? We answer this a lot because dramas are at the heart of PMC’s work. PMC creates radio and TV dramas around the world that don’t just entertain, they engage and educate. Adapting the Sabido methodology, PMC creates culturally-specific stories with characters that model behavior in long-running serial dramas. We train local teams of writers, producers, and actors who create the program using extensive formative research as a guide, resulting in a range of realistic characters, beliefs, actions, and consequences. The plot twists give audiences an entertaining story and a platform for discussion, allowing people to change with the characters and make their own decisions. PMC’s transmedia storytelling brings the narrative alive across multiple platforms, drawing the audience further into the fictional world and allowing them to learn in different ways. For instance, fictional characters might have in-character social media profiles or blogs with which the audience can interact. PMC’s Whole Society Strategy produces digital, print, and broadcast components to reinforce messages and reach more people, such as experts or writers participating in a call-in show to discuss the issues or drama. Capacity building is also often included, such as training media in pro-social reporting.
TRAINING & ADVISING
ISSUE ADVOCACY
Other organizations can do this too. PMC serial dramas follow specific guidelines that can be imparted to other organizations.
We must educate people about population growth while enhancing health, human rights, and environmental protection.
PMC wants to empower others to create change, which is why PMC offers: an intensive (often three-week) training for creative and production staffs, general PMC workshops that explain the basics of our approach and methodology, or advising or collaboration opportunities on entertainment-education initiatives.
Many people don’t realize how quickly the global population is growing, the implications of that growth on the environment, or that this population growth is the result of a lack of health and human rights, particularly for women. PMC advocates for issues like girls’ education and eliminating child marriage.

GOOD WORK JUST GOT EASIER
A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER IN BURUNDI USES PMC’S DRAMA AS A TEACHING TOOL Jeanne d’Arc Butoyi is Burundian and, yes, her name translates to Joan of Arc. She lives in Muremera, in the Ndava region of Cibitoke Province. She’s in her mid-30s and works as a community organizer addressing many sexual and reproductive health issues, including condom usage, family planning, and visiting health clinics. “I invite women to listen to Agashi with me, and we all listen to the show very closely. I have seven children. I invite women who don’t yet have seven children and tell them, ‘Come, listen to these messages on Agashi. Listen to the misfortune Tengenge has to go through – giving birth to so many children and not being able to feed them.’ When I used her case as an example, people really began to understand the problem.”
Above is Jeanne d’Arc Butoyi who uses PMC’s drama Agashi (“Hey! Look Again!”) to create change in her community.
But it’s not just women that Jeanne finds have been impacted by PMC’s radio drama Agashi (“Hey! Look Again!”). She’s also using the drama to reach out to adolescents, explaining the importance of condoms, the prevalence of HIV/ AIDS, and the risks of teenage pregnancy. “What I like about the series is that in Agashi there are plenty of lessons. There’s a community organizer on Agashi, and she teaches us a lot. She teaches people even more about what I already teach, and people that didn’t used to listen to me are now convinced that they should.” “I am one of those girls that had their first pregnancy too young,” says Jeanne. Now she works to help other girls stay in school and avoid pregnancy or disease. Of course, it’s not easy. Her conversations with youth began with comments like “You mothers and your questions mess with us! Things are different now than they were when you grew up!” But Jeanne used Agashi characters and actions to open conversations about sex and condoms. Little by little, she says, dialogue became more possible.
MORE ABOUT BURUNDI ON PAGE 6
“Later on, some of them came by to ask me for condoms because I have them. And some of them even told me what they did. Most of them have become friends of mine, and I give them advice. Often they come back to tell me thank you.” This cascading system of information, where more and more people are informed and educated about health issues, is exactly PMC’s hope. The dramas are designed to model behavior so the audience can think about characters and actions and make decisions that are right for them. “What’s at stake in Agashi,” says Jeanne, “reflects the reality of the country.”

POPULATION: IT’S A WORLD OF SOLUTIONS HOW WE ADDRESS POPULATION TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE WORLD
Addressing population is part of the solution to many challenges facing us today, such as climate change, food shortages, water availability, and pollution. And the ways to stop population growth are known, effective, and inexpensive. If we improve the status of women; eliminate cultural, informational, and access barriers to reproductive health and family planning; and educate all children – we will see a dramatically different future. We will improve the health and prosperity of individuals, families, other species, and the planet. We work to decrease population growth by providing education in three separate categories, all of which educate and empower people and decrease population growth.
Human Health
Human Rights
Environmental Preservation
Health is a basic human right. Everyone deserves to understand, control, and nourish his or her body.
Protecting human rights for all people changes individual lives and communities with socioeconomic equality and improved opportunities.
Understanding environmental issues and the human behaviors that impact them protects the lives of all species and our shared world.

LOCAL SOLUTIONS
BUILDING A NEW DRAMA IN RWANDA
PMC’s first radio drama in Rwanda achieved tremendous results. Building on those results, PMC launched a new drama in 2014 with an amazing Rwandan team. Serial dramas can engage audiences, introduce ideas, and empower people to make better-informed decisions – creating tremendous social change. Each PMC drama follows the same production process and requirements. But the results are anything but formulaic – they’re all unique and powerful stories. One of the crucial elements of PMC dramas is that they’re written, produced, and acted by a local staff trained in the PMC process. Not only is this important for capacity building within countries — good stories have to be local. Whether it’s appropriate slang or a reference to a popular cultural icon, the stories need to be culturally sensitive and appropriate to bring about explicitly discussed behavior changes. The issues addressed in each program are based on the concerns of the host country and are in alignment with that country’s current laws and policies.
“What happens next?!” CLIFFHANGERS DRIVE SOCIAL CHANGE
In Burundi, people are tuning their radios to stations around the country to hear what happens next on Agashi (“Hey! Look Again!”). This drama is filled with cliffhangers — raising questions, inspiring new thinking, and getting people talking. In January 2014 a new radio drama hit the Burundian airwaves. People were immediately engrossed as Ruberika’s husband had to leave one month after they were married for work in another town. Ruberika was 25 years old and pregnant. And listeners cringed as Ange, a teenage girl, drew the attention of the seductive high school basketball star who belonged to a gang that was known to rape girls and rob villagers. Interwoven into these, and other, Agashi storylines is conflict, love, struggle, failure, and triumph. The audience gets carried through dramatic stories, learning along the way. Ruberika’s journey, for instance, is intricately tied to maternal and child health. As she navigates this pregnancy, a mother-like figure insists a balanced diet consists primarily of banana beer. Ruberika’s health declines until her sister-in-law must rush her to the clinic. And when she delivers twins and only one survives, Ruberika must decide how to care for the low birth weight baby. It’s her sister-in-law who shares that she lost a child to malnutrition and convinces Ruberika that health centers help save mothers and babies. This 208-episode radio serial drama in Kirundi, Burundi’s national language, has captured people’s attention. The PMC-Burundi team has held promotional events throughout the country and conducts informal monthly listener phone surveys to gauge reaction and listenership and provide immediate feedback to writers and actors.
81.3%
of Burundians live under the international poverty line of US $1.25 per day.

Season one of East Los High aired as a Hulu original series on June 3, 2013 and rose to be one of the top five shows on Hulu.com. Season two launched on July 9, 2014 and went on to receive three daytime Emmy nominations.
Season two of East Los High was nominated for
In early 2014, Hulu announced that it had ordered 12 new episodes of Population Media Center’s award winning English-language series East Los High, which features an all-Latino cast and explores real-life issues such as teen pregnancy. Season two launched in July 2014 and performed even better than season one, prompting Hulu to announce that it would pick up East Los High for a third season to be released in summer 2015.
1. “Outstanding New Approaches to a Drama Series”
“We are thrilled with the success of both season one and two of East Los High in terms of both the social impact and the large and dedicated audience. And being green lit for season three just days after launching season two speaks to the tremendous success of the show,” says Katie Elmore Mota, Executive Producer.
3. “Best Actress for New Approaches to a Drama Series” Vannessa Vasquez (as Camila Barrios)
East Los High’s popularity led to media coverage in the Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, NPR, Cosmopolitan, and many more, but it’s not only East Los High’s big audience that’s drawing attention. Season two of East Los High addressed issues of domestic and dating violence, contraception and unplanned pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, LGBTQ issues and sexual identity, and information about cost and availability of health services. PMC produced East Los High in association with Wise Entertainment, led by Mota, former PMC Vice President of Communications and Programs. The show was co-created by Carlos Portugal and Kathleen Bedoya. To watch episodes free of charge in the United States, visit: www.eastloshigh.com.

L NG LASTING CHANGE IT TAKES TIME, BUT IT’S WORTH IT PMC addresses difficult issues that don’t change overnight. That’s why PMC dramas are long-running and we prefer an extended presence within a country. PMC has been working in Ethiopia for more than 14 years to address myriad issues ranging from gender equality to female genital mutilation to drug and alcohol abuse to HIV/AIDS. Issues of this nature require discussion, information, debate, and time for change. PMC’s long-running serial dramas contain plots and subplots that unfold over time, allowing the audience to get involved with the stories and watch actions and consequences. This lengthy unveiling of actions and behaviors encourages people to guess what’s going to happen next, ask questions, and talk with family and friends to help them digest information and assess their own perspective. Audience members gradually learn the consequences of characters’ decisions around a variety of issues, which are in alignment
with the hoped-for social change, giving the audience time to come to realizations and transition with the characters. PMC dramas typically unfold over one to three years, but even this timeframe is short when hoping to change a community’s perspective on something like women’s equality. That’s where longevity in a country becomes important as well. Subsequent dramas and other Whole Society Strategy components allow for solidification and extension of behavior change. Social change, not surprisingly, gains momentum over time. PMC dramas achieve tremendous results, but with follow-on programs early adopters and supporters are now prepared to carry messages further into communities. Instead of purely absorbing information, listeners from previous programs are now equipped to use subsequent dramas to encourage more listenership, coordinate community activities, and become powerful catalysts for change.
