A coalition of Rwandan media organisations and Africa Check, supported by Google News Initiative, have partnered to fact-check information ahead of the July 2024 general elections.
The media regulatory body the Rwanda Media Commission, the Association of Rwandan Journalists, media organisation New Times Rwanda and PAX PRESS, a media development non-profit organisation, have teamed up to establish an information integrity coalition that will bring together editors, journalists and media outlets in Rwanda to support public debate.
Discussions are ongoing with other Rwandan media outlets.
“We will begin with elections and expand to other important topics such as health, environment, the economy, and climate change, giving reliable information to fuel sustainable development.”
We are very proud to work with Rwandan organisations as they deliver reliable information during this important election season,” said Aretha Mashotana, the head of engagement and partnerships at Africa Check.
