Sh'aw, 33, a former Goderich resi- dent, has been appointed co-ordinator of ,the newly established Audio -Visual Production Unit of the United States Agency for Inter- national Development (USAID) mission to the Republic of Cameroun effective July 21. Engaged under a two year personal ser- vice contract with the American govern- ment technical assistance agency, Mr. Shaw is responsible for establishment of the new audio-visual unit in all sectors from purchasing necessary equipment and set- ting up production facilities to recruiting and training Camerounian staff. . "The object being," he explains, "to have in place a functioning and capable produc- tion unit, staffed by Camerounians, by July of 1986." "The tise of mass media techniques as a project tool is not new to developing coun- tries," Mr. Shaw explains. "Many countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America have very effectively used radio for several decades now, and over recent years have begun to mlevision. Such an approach is often the st effective in areas where literacy rates maybe low." Even considering the investment required by a government to establish broadcasting facilities,.and the added investment needed for receivers, broadcasting can still be a very cost effective means . of getting development messages to remote.villages, Mr. Shaw contends. The initial gpals of the new USAID audio- visual facility do not aim at producing pro- graming for broadcast, Mr. Shaw explains. In fact, a project now underway to give Cameroun its first television service will not be completed for at least another year. "What we will be doing," Mr. Shaw ex- plains, "is establishing a capability. We will be setting up the unit and training a staff which will be capable of such production but which, for the moment, will apply mass media techniques to selected audiences for the purpose of project documentation and reporting, donor and host government rela- tions, information distribution, training and so on." Ron a was born at Perth, Ontario where he'"`9lbtained his elementary and secondary ducation. He studied journalism at Algongd'n college of Applied Arts and Technology in Ottawa arid is a fellow of the Salzburg Seminar (Session 211, Develop- ment, Communications and Social Change which he attended in Salzburg, Austria in 1982.

During the 1970s he also worked extensively' as a freelance cameraman and reporter for such television and radio stations as (.KC'O Kitchener, CFPL London, C.JBK London, ('KNX Wingham and Global Television. In 1974, Mr. Shaw went to Niger in West Africa where he worked for two years with the livestock branch of the Nigerien Ministry of Agriculture. Following this assignment, he spent 10 months travelling in Africa through Nigeria, Renin, Cameroun, Central African Republic, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Republic of South Africa. He has also travelled extensively in the British West In- dies, Europe, the Middle East and North America. In 1977 he joined the delvelopment and relief agency CARE International and serv- ed two years in Bangladesh followed by an assignment to Tchad until CARE staff were evacuated following a round of fighting in that country's two decade old civil war.
