Development and Resource Officer

Position description

The Forum on Information and Democracy is the implementing body of the International Partnership for Information and Democracy, signed by 55 countries. Founded in 2019 by 11 NGOs and research centers, its mission is to implement democratic safeguards in the global information and communication space.

The Forum brings together international working groups composed of experts and chaired by high-level figures (Angel Gurría, Maria Ressa, Marietje Schaake, Shoshana Zuboff, etc.). Their mandate is to publish regulatory and self-regulatory recommendations addressed to various stakeholders (states, platforms, civil society, etc.).

In parallel, it hosts the International Observatory on Information and Democracy, which aims to collect, aggregate, and synthesize existing research on the impact of the information ecosystem on democracy.
