Call for proposals: Trainer on social listening for civil society actors in Mongolia

The project aims to advise and support media and civil society actors in overcoming challenges posed by current armed conflicts and associated crises in providing the population with reliable information. These challenges include the continuing prevalence of disinformation, which deliberately taps into anti-Western resentment to sow mistrust and stir up discord. Universal availability of social media and/or Artificial Intelligence (AI) mean that the cost of producing and disseminating such content has fallen massively, which means that citizens are increasingly exposed to it. At the same time, independent media actors must adapt to the challenging conditions that arise for the production and dissemination of reliable information in the context of war and crisis.

Deliverables:

• two-day online Training of Trainers (ToT) for local experts tasked to consult CSOs representing project target groups;
