Madagascar

Country Overview
In Madagascar, Rooted in Trust is working to address the impacts of pandemic related information across the country with vulnerable communities and low litterated communities.
The RiT 2.0 project is implemented in 6 regions: Androy, Anosy, Analamanga, Vakinakaratra, Haute Matsiatra and Vatovavy.
The project focuses on listening and collecting rumors around COVID-19 and issues of public health, vaccination and the COVID-19 response. Those are addressed in a periodic rumor bulletin in a way that places communities and individuals at the center of concerns and information needs. Through this listening, the project seeks to give more trustworthy information to communities, the media and humanitarians so that they can make decisions that will benefit them.
We are working alongside:

In addition, they focus on the promotion of citizen participation in public life.

Their mission is to restore public confidence in information, to prevent the spiral of conflict and extremism, accompanying media actors in respecting ethics and deontology, to work for the access of the population to quality information, promote research for an inclusive and free media communication.
