Protecting the press, securing digital technology: a look back at the Situation Rooms in Abuja
How can press freedom be guaranteed in Nigeria and digital rights protected in the age of disinformation?
On 20 May in Abuja, ASF France organised two multi-stakeholder consultation workshops in the form of Situation Rooms (crisis units) as part of the e-RIGHTS project.
The objectives?
✔️ Create sustainable spaces for dialogue between key actors
✔️ Strengthen skills and mutual understanding
✔️ Develop concrete recommendations for a safer digital environment and a better protected press
✔️ Mobilise national authorities for sustainable and enforceable changes across the country
🟣 The first Situation Room, supported by the European Union Delegation, brought together public decision-makers, activists and experts to formulate recommendations for a safer digital ecosystem in Nigeria.
🟠 The second, supported by UNESCO's Global Fund for Media Defence, facilitated dialogue between journalists and law enforcement agencies to build trust, reduce tensions and protect media professionals.
🤝 Thank you to our partners CITAD and Spaces for Change for their commitment!
