Rationale

Disinformation in spreads rapidly through social media, local networks, and vernacular communication channels, often undermining trust in institutions, fuelling division, and discouraging civic participation. Existing media platforms provide limited dedicated space for verification and public accountability.

By establishing a fact-checking and engagement platform, Busia CEN aims to:

1

Debunk false narratives in local languages and contexts.

2

Promote community-driven accountability by publishing fact-checks and analysis on governance, public services, and elections.

3

Equip citizens and youth with media literacy skills, enabling them to identify and counter misinformation.

4

Amplify our voices nationally and regionally, contributing to Africa-wide efforts against disinformation.
