Project ID 2210654011

In line with Output 8.C15, the project aims to increase dialogues and exchanges among stakeholders to improve MIL policies in the Mekong countries, and provide recommendations on tackling the gender digital divide in a region where women continue to experience limited online opportunities. Additionally, as misinformation, disinformation and hate speech become more prevalent, the project seeks to gather findings and new solutions to empower young people and improve their interaction with information, media and digital technology.
