ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Initiative, standing for Information, Narratives, Fact-checking, Outreach, Resilience, and Media Literacy (INFORM), is the HORN Institute’s strategic, multi-dimensional programme dedicated to comprehensively addressing this challenge. The initiative is designed to counter disinformation, misinformation, and mal-information (DMM) across social, political, economic, diplomatic, and security spheres, with an initial focus on the Kenyan information environment and ambitions to expand across the wider region.
The INFORM Initiative operates on the understanding that countering information disorder requires more than reactive fact-checking. It requires a systemic approach that combines rigorous monitoring and analysis of information flows, institutional capacity building, public media literacy programming, policy engagement, and strategic communications support for government and civil society actors working to uphold information integrity.
