**SayPro Information Management Officer, Rooted in Trust Sudan

 ABOUT THE PROJECT Internews is working at the frontline of the COVID-19 infodemic to ensure communities have access to timely, accurate, and responsive information, so that people can make well-informed health choices. Through the Rooted in Trust 2.0 (RiT) project, Internews aims to combat COVID-19 rumors and misinformation in 10 countries: Afghanistan, Lebanon, Brazil, Colombia, Mali, DRC, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Sudan and South Sudan. We work to create impact at the local level and inform approaches to rumor management at the global level. In Sudan, Internews' RiT project tracks COVID-19 related rumors and misinformation among conflict-affected communities, including on social media platforms, and through face-to-face discussions with community members. This regular feedback collection aims to inform and influence risk communication efforts by humanitarian and public health actors, and to support local media in disseminating accurate and actionable information that responds to communities' COVID-19 information needs. The project is supported by a Global Technical Advisory team made up of media, humanitarian, data science and information management experts. In Phase 1 of the project, we collected more than 19 thousand rumors in 14 languages and supported more than 30 local trusted information providers. In this critical phase of the pandemic, we will build on these efforts to listen and respond to the information challenges faced by vulnerable groups in humanitarian contexts, encouraging open dialogue between citizens and scientists and stronger and more collaborative partnerships between information providers (such as local media) and humanitarian and health sources.
