Mapping Anti-Muslim Discrimination and Information Manipulation, and its Impact on Humanitarian Aid and Development is a groundbreaking new report detailing the landscape of US-based non-state actors that have engaged in information manipulation campaigns against Muslim-led humanitarian aid and development INGOs. Targeted misinformation and disinformation campaigns against humanitarian and development actors result not only in a substantial reduction in the flow of legitimate aid, but also contribute to a further erosion of public trust in civil society. Dr. FitzGerald will provide an overview of the report’s findings, followed by a “fireside chat” with NGOsource’s Martha Lackritz-Peltier. Grant makers will be provided with tips for identifying and combatting misinformation and disinformation, as well as a copy of the report.

This event is produced by NGOsource, a program of TechSoup.
