Published purpose

This initiative develops, administers and tests the efficacy of a Multistakeholder Crisis Response Network to help achieve strengthened connectivity and interaction among the multistakeholder community - social media platforms, civil society organizations, and G7 member and observer governments - dedicated to countering conflict-related disinformation in and around Ukraine. Project activities include: (1) mapping key stakeholders’ respective capabilities, functions, needs, and points of contact to identify gaps in the overall response and lay the groundwork for coordination; (2) identifying and operationalizing a secure shared communications channel to intake and match requests for support with available resources and capabilities across the network; (3) convening ad hoc briefings in meetings with stakeholders; and (4) undertaking analysis and collecting lessons learned during the response to the Ukrainian crisis. It does so to develop a post-conflict playbook for future crises threatening other at-risk democracies.
