The project “Strengthening Resilience to Radicalisation and Disinformation in Central Asia” (Phase II) is funded by the European Union and implemented by Internews. The project is a follow-up intervention, which builds on lessons learned from the implementation of the previous project “Contributing to stability and peace in Central Asia through media literacy, improved reporting and regional cooperation” (Phase I).
The 18-month long project, “Strengthening Resilience to Radicalisation and Disinformation in Central Asia”, places an emphasis on strengthening citizens’ capacity in countering violent extremist narratives and disinformation campaigns that lead to radicalisation through supporting media, civil society organisations (CSO), government institutions, religious leaders and active citizens in Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

This online round-table discussion will provide a stage for PVE experts from Europe and Central Asia to share findings from their latest research projects and effective practices in countering violent extremist narratives and their impact among local populations.
