To enhance the capacity of journalists and encourage social media influencers in Bangladesh to effectively counter misinformation by fact checking during election periods.   

In Phase I, the project aims to organize a series of dialogues with editors and journalists, to understand the mechanism through which misinformation is reproduced and recirculated in Bangladesh, particularly in rural context. These dialogues will then be used to prepare an evidence-based and country-specific training manual in Phase II. In the final phase, training workshops will be organized across major regions in the country with tools for journalists and social media influencers to fight misinformation.
