About FactSpace West Africa

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.
