Public Perception of False and Distorted Information Covered by the Media (Moldova, 2016): Dataset

Moldova Partnerships for Sustainable Civil Society (MPSCS) is a five-year project (2013-2018) funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by FHI 360. The project strengthens the capacity of Moldovan civil society to represent citizen’s interests, influence policy-making, and sustain the sector’s democratic role for the future. Through MPSCS, FHI 360 provides a variety of services to government institutions, citizens, and CSOs, including funding, technical assistance, institutional development, networking opportunities, and capacity building in the skills necessary to improve the enabling legal and fiscal framework.

Under MPSCS, the Independent Journalism Center (Grant Agreement 4572­-CJI-­01)
conducted the second survey on public perception of false and distorted information covered by the media in Moldova. The results are reflected in the Moldovan-language report “Public perception of false and distorted information covered by the media”.
