● Africa Check

Africa Check is a non-profit organisation founded in 2012 to promote accuracy in public debate and media in Africa. The aim of our work is to improve the quality of information available to society across the continent.

We do this through a multifaceted approach that includes fact-checking, media literacy, training, networking and outreach activities.

非營利組織《Africa Check》成立於2012年，旨在促進與提升非洲區域的公共辯論和媒體報導的準確性。我們的工作目標放眼全非洲，希望提升整整體非洲社會可取得資訊的質量。

為了實驗這一個目標，我們採訪了多方面的手段，包括事實查核、媒體素養、培訓、建立社群關係網絡和舉辦許多對外活動。
