Digital technologies fighting misinformation on the internet
Date: 30 June 2022, 12:00-13:30 (CEST)
Online
In recent months, African countries have fallen prey to foreign misinformation with enormous consequences on their political stability. In that context, the EU has partnered with a wide array of partners, including start-ups and projects like the Digital Enquirer Kit to counter disinformation campaigns, which we will have the chance and opportunity to welcome during our Info Point.
In the context of INTPA's work as regards international development and cooperation, misinformation and disinformation have become an even bigger challenge since the beginning of the pandemic. Indeed, the increased digitalisation that has characterised the last two years, as well as the digital shift undergone by some of INTPA's partner countries have heightened their vulnerability to disinformation campaigns, as well as the strategic influence of actors such as Russia.
SME Crisis Response Webinar 7 - Commodities and Raw Materials in Africa and New Opportunities for African and European Enterprises
Date: 7 July 2022, 10:00 (CEST)
The issues presented in this webinar will tackle the changing scenario of the importance of African commodities from the end of the COVID-19 crisis until the current situation of Russia’s aggression on Ukraine.
On one side, we have the growing fear of increasing food prices, famines and food insecurity, and on the other hand the awareness of the importance of African local goods. Different case scenarios are being analysed in order to overcome this crisis, depending on short, medium or long-term goals in which the best-case scenario would be to avoid food dependency.
Another important topic is the role of European enterprises and their new opportunities from the economic point of view.
