2. Background / problem description

The rampant flow of disinformation poses a key challenge to Moldova, manipulating public opinion, eroding trust and undermining the fragile democratic progress. In the face of multiple crises stemming from the Russian invasion in Ukraine, the need for trustworthy information has become even more pronounced, especially in communities directly affected by these events.

To contribute to a resilient democratic society in the Republic of Moldova with a safe information ecosystem, the project follows a holistic approach equally addressing media as watchdogs of democratic changes and open public dialogue and media consumers. The action thus increases the capacities of media actors to produce, and of media consumers to access trustworthy quality reporting.
