IWPR’S Strengthening Resilience and Building Technical Skills programme in Southeast Asia helps journalists, social media activists, CSOs, community and religion-based groups understand, identify and combat disinformation. We receive funding and technical support from the US Department of State.

IWPR’s wider work in Southeast Asia includes building resilience against disinformation; reporting on marine sustainability and security as well as on private sector investments and economic development; and explaining the value of regional and international institutions such as the ASEAN. IWPR also helps journalists and CSOs build technical skills such as media safety and security, social media audience building and data visualisation to better inform their audiences on highly complex issues around disinformation.
