Abstract:   In countries with well-established internet infrastructure, social media has become an accepted platform for voicing opinions. However, in some parts of Africa internet infrastructure is poorly developed, precluding the use of social media to gauge sentiment. Instead, community radio phone-in talk shows are used to voice views and concerns. Our contribution will introduce a radio browsing system that is intended to support relief and developmental programmes by the United Nations (UN). Browsing systems were developed to monitor community radio broadcasts for keywords related to specific topics such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or other crises.
