Good to know
  • In debunking fake news a special focus will be placed on information about Eastern Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic. 
  • Priority will be given to organizations most severely affected due to economic and social disparities between the centre and remote areas, and those working to support the most vulnerable groups disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
  • This is a first open call within the programme. In the future, proposals will be received on an ongoing basis.
