.StateDept is spending tens of thousands of dollars in order to fight 'disinformation' and 'misinformation' in Uganda. $50,000 is slated for two entities to train journalists in Uganda on 'fact-checking' and how to 'reduce vulnerability.'
President Joe Biden's State Department is spending tens of thousands of dollars in order to fight"disinformation" and"misinformation" in Uganda, documents show.
Uganda, a country in east Africa with a population of over 45 million people, is a republic that has received a level three travel advisory from the State Department. This means the department is instructing U.S. citizens to"reconsider travel" to the country due to a heightened risk of"crime and terrorism."
Allegedly to inform foreign media members, grantees will conduct"trainings" on how to spot purported disinformation, such as a State Department-touted"media literacy 'hackathon' or coding event to develop [a] tool that support[s] easy fact-checking." The interactive exercise suggestion by the State Department comes after the Global Engagement Center, an interagency housed under it, spent $275,000 in 2021 to develop a video game to fight disinformation, documents show.
