Nov 13, 2023 | 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Description

Inequalities and geopolitical tensions can provide fertile ground for disinformation campaigns, including foreign information manipulation and interference. Manipulated narratives and false information have the power to polarise societies and disrupt democratic processes, both domestically and internationally. This session will delve into the challenges faced by the development community in the face of disinformation operations. Moreover, it will explore strategies and available tools to strengthen information integrity by effectively integrating development issues.
