This is the reality we often overlook. #Disinformation speaks our language, lives in our homes, and spreads through our closest circles.

CODEO has expressed disapproval of the appointment of Ms. Emelia Agbenyo as Dep. Chairperson of @ECGhanaOfficial, citing concerns about perceived partisanship and its implications for public confidence in the Commission’s independence. Read the statement: bit.ly/4zBKM8H
Building the skills to question, assess and verify information is a lifelong learning experience.

We appreciate your presence. Information integrity is a crosscutting subject and we need all hands on deck.

Facts should not get lost in translation.🗣️
At @penplusbytes’ research launch and multilingual marketplace, conversations centered on an important question: how do we make credible information accessible and useful to more people in Ghana?
Language is indispensable and the ability to understand, verify, and question information should not be confined to a particular language or linguistic strain or dialect.
As information spreads across communities and digital spaces, multilingual approaches to fact-checking can help bring credible evidence closer to the people who need it.
We were glad to be part of this conversation on moving from evidence to innovation on information integrity as our work in simplifying the national budget across all rungs of the literacy span and social framework sits at this very intersection and we believe that targeted investment and engagement is needed to strengthen this work across the country.

“I can commit that government will be happy to engage @penplusbytes as a learning partner to pilots the Kasagadi platform in our daily monitoring chain"

“We must continue to adapt to changing needs and stay one step ahead of emerging challenges in the information ecosystem”

Today, we wrap up our TruthQuest deployment at Janet Educational Complex, marking the end of our school engagement activities in the Ashanti Region.
Over the past few days, we've engaged young learners with the TruthQuest game and comic book, helping them identify misinformation.
TruthQuest Day 2!
Today, we took #TruthQuest to KNUST Basic School in the Ashanti Region.
Another group of young learners explored how to spot misleading information, ask questions and verify before sharing.
Two schools down. One more to go.
