From January to May 2023 UNESCO and UNDP have implemented the "Addressing Hate Speech and Information Pollution for Social Cohesion in Kyrgyzstan" project, aimed to develop an analytical framework to address hate speech as a critical factor in promoting social cohesion in Kyrgyzstan. The project combined the expertise and knowledge of two United Nations agencies, namely UNESCO and UNDP, to achieve this goal.

UNESCO's expertise in Media and Information Literacy, Hate Speech, and Misinformation utilized to develop strategies to counter hate speech and promote media literacy among the public. This involve creating guidelines for media professionals on how to report on sensitive issues without promoting hate speech or misinformation.

UNDP's expertise in Governance and Peacebuilding used to develop governance frameworks that foster social cohesion and reduce the risk of conflict resulting from hate speech. This involve working with local authorities and civil society organizations to promote dialogue and tolerance among different communities in Kyrgyzstan.

The project aims to develop a comprehensive and effective framework for addressing hate speech and promoting social cohesion in Kyrgyzstan by synergizing the expertise and knowledge of these two UN agencies. The success of the project will ultimately depend on the commitment and engagement of local stakeholders, including media professionals, civil society organizations, and government officials.
