IMFD collaborates with UNDP in project to ascertain citizen opinion on new constitutional drafting process

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

In the last wave of surveys of this initiative, known as Constitutional Listening, information contamination was asked for the first time: the vast majority (75%) of respondents believe that the information about the Constitutional Council that they receive through media or social networks is not at all and somewhat credible, and 23% believe it is quite and totally credible.

Meanwhile, the percentage of people who feel fairly and/or very informed about the process reached 22%.

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

The director adds that this is especially relevant when considering the impact of disinformation 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.
