    Social Networking: A Guide to Strengthening Civil Society Through Social Media DISCLAIMER: The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Agency for International Development or the United States Government. Counterpart International would like to acknowledge and thank all who were involved in the creation of Social Networking: A Guide to Strengthening Civil Society through Social Media. This guide is a result of collaboration and input from a great team and group of advisors. Our deepest appreciation to Tina Yesayan, primary author of the guide; and Kulsoom Rizvi, who created a dynamic visual layout. Alex Sardar and Ray Short provided guidance and sound technical expertise, for which we’re grateful. The Civil Society and Media Team at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was the ideal partner in the process of co-creating this guide, which benefited immensely from that team’s insights and thoughtful contributions. The case studies in the annexes of this guide speak to the capacity and vision of the featured civil society organizations and their leaders, whose work and commitment is inspiring. This guide was produced with funding under the Global Civil Society Leader with Associates Award, a Cooperative Agreement funded by USAID for the implementation of civil society, media development and program design and learning activities around the world. Counterpart International’s mission is to partner with local organizations - formal and informal - to build inclusive, sustainable communities in which their people thrive. We hope this manual will be an essential tool for civil society organizations to more effectively and purposefully pursue their missions in service of their communities.

  • Nations in Transit Brief
    Nations in Transit brief November 2019 Should Ukraine Drop Sanctions against Russian Tech Companies? Olga Kyryliuk PhD, CEO & Founder, The Influencer Platform Photo by STR/NurPhoto via Getty Images • Ukraine fundamentally altered its approach to regulating the internet in 2017 when it introduced economic restrictions (sanctions) against thousands of Russian individuals and legal entities. • The sanctions have significantly infringed on Ukrainians’ digital rights and freedom of expression and dam- aged the country’s information space and economic interests. At the same time, they did not go far enough in achieving the stated goals of their supporters. • The consistency of these sanctions with freedom of expression standards is dubious given the guaran- tees provided by Ukrainian and international human rights law, as well as rulings that broad sanctions on media platforms are unlawful. The way in which the Ukrainian authorities introduced the sanctions and their accompanying legal framework also raises numerous rule-of-law concerns, further undermining the legitimacy of these measures. • Moreover, the sanctions do not seem to have eliminated the threat of Russian propaganda or signiicantly contributed to building a more secure national information space. It is increasingly clear that the threat of disinformation is not unique to the Russian-controlled platforms that were targeted with sanctions. • With major changes in Ukraine’s political leadership, the country has yet another chance to address the dueling challenges of defending freedom and maintaining national security. By strengthening its com- mitment to human rights and democratic values, Ukraine can build a strong foundation for tackling such challenges in the digital age. Introduction The freedom of expression is one of the most crucial human rights in the digital age and is an essential pillar of any democratic governance model.
