BACKGROUND
Founded in 1982, Search for Common Ground (Search) is an international non-governmental organization working to end violent conflict and build healthy, safe, and just societies. Using innovative tools, Search seeks to transform the way the world deals with conflict, away from adversarial approaches, toward cooperative solutions. Headquartered in Washington DC, USA and Brussels, Belgium, Search is present in over 30 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Middle East, and Central South, and South-East Asia.
The Project
Search, in partnership with Empathy of Life Development Association (ELIDA), Zeleman Productions and Build Up is implementing a 24-month project which aims to create a sustainable shift in how Ethiopians perceive and respond to online hate speech and misinformation. By empowering communities and stakeholders to recognize and counteract harmful narratives, this project’s goal is that a safer, more cohesive, and peaceful online and offline environment in Ethiopia is fostered.
This overall goal is supported by two intermediate outcomes 1) Strengthened capacity and connections of relevant Ethiopian stakeholders (women and men) to address mis/disinformation and hate speech and 2) increased access and positive engagement of targeted communities in spaces that promote a safer, more cohesive, and peaceful online and offline environment in Ethiopia.
