About us
FactSpace West Africa is a fact-checking organisation working to tackle mis/disinformation and propaganda across West Africa. We aim to ensure ready access to credible information, increase public knowledge across West Africa, train the sub-region's youthful population and grow a budding community of fact-checkers. Acting on wrong information can kill. Meanwhile, the weaponisation of mis/disinformation online has become one of the foremost challenges confronting the world, with information disorder being used to undermine democracies and create distrust in public health systems. Young democracies across West Africa are majorly exposed to the threat of mis/disinformation due to growing internet connectivity.

An animated video claiming Sammy Gyamfi has threatened to deal with the security forces is an old video and has nothing to do with the 2024 elections.

A wonderful reflection of how the Africa Fact-Checking Conference hosted in Accra in October brought together fact-checkers and researchers on the continent to discuss very local issues that have global implications.
