In 2022, to mark the third year since the Christchurch Call to Action, the Christchurch Call Advisory Network (CCAN) embarked on its first-ever independent evaluation of the work done by supporting governments and companies “supporters'') to further their commitments under the Call. Through this pilot evaluation, CCAN engaged with some of the key signatories (a selective sample of the Call supporters) to understand how the commitments of these governments and companies under the Call had shaped their approaches to curbing the spread
of terrorist and violent extremist content online in a manner consistent with human rights and a free, open, and secure internet. In addition, CCAN’s pilot evaluation examined ways in which supporting governments and companies engaged in multi-stakeholder discussion and policy development with the broader Call Community.

This pilot evaluation project served as an opportunity for CCAN to engage with governments
and companies to evaluate how the Call’s key principles have influenced the policies, actions, and approaches of supporters - and the broader global effort - to counter the proliferation of
terrorist and violent extremist content online whilst respecting human rights and upholding the free, open, and secure Internet, since the Call’s establishment in 2019. As a result this evaluation also offers a glimpse into the role the Call plays as an influential global convening body that is able to bring together and drive impact across stakeholder groups.
