What we do
Driving Informed and active Citizenry.
Evidence-Based Advocacy
We conduct critical assessments of social problems that relate to citizens’ understanding of issues, citizen-government distrust, shrinking digital and civic space, and digital misinformation and disinformation in the areas of education and human rights, gender equity and justice, civic participation and good governance, and media and civil society development.
Storytelling
We leverage storytelling to drive a uniform understanding of social problems in the areas of education and human rights, gender equity and justice, civic participation and good governance, and media and civil society development.
Training
We support capacity development initiatives for media and civil society professionals aimed at driving informed and active citizenry in the areas of education and human rights, gender equity and justice, civic participation and good governance, and media and civil society development.
