The Resilient and Connected programme, implemented by People in Need, the Prague Civil Society Centre, and the Netherlands Helsinki Committee, aims to strengthen the long-term resilience of citizens in Eastern Partnership countries.

Through joint civil society initiatives, the programme brings together established CSOs, grassroot CSOs, independent media, fact-checkers, researchers, content creators and community actors in detecting and countering disinformation and foreign information manipulation interference (FIMI).

- Strengthening media and digital literacy among vulnerable groups.
- Enhancing resilience of civic actors through networks between civil society, journalists, educators, policymakers.
- Supporting independent media and fact-checkers, contributing to public debate and transparency.
- Fostering regional cooperation by sharing tools, monitoring trends, and coordinating response.

- Strengthened capacity and resilience of more than 1100 civic actors in effectively detecting and countering disinformation and FIMI.
- Enhanced critical thinking and media literacy, in particular among young people, vulnerable groups and in rural areas.
- Enhanced policy dialogue at national and regional level to build cross-border networks against FIMI.
