As fact-checkers, we see an uptick of misinformation ahead of elections, especially on social media. Political parties often use social media because of its reach and, in the push to present themselves favourably to voters, spread misinformation themselves. Africa Check, with the support from the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF), provided Kenyan citizens with election-based media literacy skills to better identify misinformation, ahead of the country’s elections on 9 August 2022. Before forwarding information, check who wrote and shared the information. Africa Check will also roll out similar initiatives ahead of the Nigerian elections in 2023 and South African elections in 2024.
