Code for Africa (CfA) is the largest network of African civic technology and investigative journalism labs, with more than 70 employees in 21 countries, building digital democracy solutions intended to give citizens unlimited access to actionable information that enables them to make informed decisions and strengthens civic engagement to improve public governance and accountability.
In today’s digital age where everyone is a story teller and information travels faster, misinformation has been on the rise like never before, social media platforms have become a primary source of information, often concealing valuable insights and critical data. For journalists, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), and professionals in various fields, there is the need to navigate this vast digital landscape and effectively unearthing hidden narratives and connections.
Join CfA’s fact-checking masterclass, designed specifically for students of tertiary institutions, to explore transparency, ethics, and the fundamentals of fact-checking for accuracy and accountability. Participants will also gain hands-on proficiency in verifying diverse content formats and investigating the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and fact-checking.
