This International Programs Department grant is dedicated to empowering civil society organizations (CSOs) across Eastern Europe. The primary purpose of this funding is to significantly enhance the capacity of these CSOs to effectively identify, analyze, and publicly counter Kremlin-driven disinformation campaigns within their local information environments. Funds will also support critical efforts to expose malign influence organizations aligned with the Kremlin that actively exploit disinformation to destabilize democratic societies. Recipients will develop and disseminate robust analytical products, providing crucial insights and timely responses to protect democratic processes and foster informed public discourse in the region. This initiative aims to build resilience against foreign malign influence.
