Radio Afghanistan International has been nominated for the Social Impact category awards of the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in the Netherlands.

On Monday, IBC announced that Radio Afghanistan International is one of the shortlisted platforms in the category for amplifying the voices of Afghan women.

The Social Impact Award is one of several awards of IBC which will be awarded to international media outlets on September 15 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

BBC and the Spanish State Radio and Television (RTVE) are among the five nominees for this prestigious award.

"We were blown away by the range and ambition of this year’s entries," Ade Rawcliffe, Group Director of Diversity and Inclusion at ITV and Chair of the Social Impact Awards Jury, said in a statement.

He added, "The quality of the finalists from around the globe illustrates just how important making a social impact is to an increasing number of businesses and creative companies."

Afghanistan International is a part of the Volant media company, which was established after the fall of the previous Afghan government in 2021. The nomination for the IBC Award highlights the vital work of the media for Afghan audience.

As an international multimedia network, Afghanistan International has reflected diverse viewpoints and reported on human rights and other current affairs issues and has become a voice for the people of Afghanistan.
