Mahder M. Getaneh, a passionate architecture lecturer at Addis Ababa Science and Technology (AASTU), not only teaches her students but also delves into the realms of design, innovation, and problem-solving for societal issues.
In October 2022, she participated in a media literacy training organized by the US embassy in Addis. The training focused on combatting misinformation and disinformation, aiming to equip attendees with the necessary tools to tackle this pervasive problem.
With approximately 60 participants, the three-day training concluded with a challenge: each group had to devise an idea addressing Ethiopia’s major challenges.
After careful consideration, Mahder’s group saw ethnic tension as the country’s major hurdle, attributing it to the propagation of misinformation and disinformation.
