IMFD collaborates with UNDP on project to gauge public opinion on new constitutional drafting process

A joint project between UNDP Chile and the IMFD has been studying public opinion on the new constitutional drafting process.

In the latest wave of surveys for this initiative, known as Escuchas Constitucionales (Constitutional Listening), People were asked for the first time about information pollution: the vast majority (75%) of People believe that the information they receive about the Constitutional Council through the media or social networks is not very credible, and 23% believe that it is quite credible and totally credible.

Meanwhile, the percentage of People feel fairly and/or very informed about the process stands at 22%.

"It is very important for our research center to work in partnership with various organizations and institutions to contribute to a better understanding of social dynamics and phenomena at key moments for the country," said Camila Díaz, Executive Director of Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data IMFD).

The director adds that this is particularly relevant when considering the impact that misinformation has on democratic processes: "The fact that different actors are analyzing the threat of information pollution from different angles and experiences enriches the knowledge we can gather on this problem," she concludes.
