Journalists for Human Rights

Published purpose

This project contributes to reducing conflict resulting from media-related misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech prone to electoral violence in South Sudan. The Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) implements this project in the build up to the national elections in late 2024. Project activities include: (1) increasing media literacy among civilians; (2) strengthening the capacity of journalists, content creators, and the South Sudanese diaspora to identify and debunk misinformation and disinformation; and (3) improving government, media, and civil society relations. Through a targeted package of evidence-based awareness raising and training, JHR works with key stakeholders in violence-prone communities, the media, and the government to improve South Sudanese access to accurate and reliable information.
