(2) Research and analysis of information manipulation and propaganda across Uganda’s media landscape. The U.S. Mission in Uganda is concerned about the proliferation of information manipulation that negatively influences Ugandans’ perception of public health campaigns, domestic politics, the value of a democratic system, and other significant issues. The project aims to support one of the Public Diplomacy Section’s (PDS) central goals of improving the professional development of the Ugandan media corps. Please follow all instructions below.
