Africa’s first independent fact-checking organisation

Africa Check is a non-profit organisation set up in 2012 to promote accuracy in public debate and the media in Africa. The goal of our work is to raise the quality of information available to society across the continent. We’ve been working in Nigeria since late 2016.

Of course, with hundreds of millions of claims of one sort of another being made every day across Africa, it is never going to be possible for one organisation to fact-check every claim made.

That is why Africa Check works with you, our readers, to identify the claims you want checked, as well as works to enable and encourage others in the media to check claims themselves.

We do this through the range of resources we provide in the ‘How to Fact-Check’ section of the website, through the reports we produce and the awards programme we run.
