On March 17-19, 2025, JamiiAfrica hosted an eye-opening fact-checking workshop in Dar es Salaam, bringing together 31 reporters from all regions of Tanzania as part of the Mwananchi Makini project. Over the course of three days, the training focused on providing reporters with practical tools and strategies to effectively combat misinformation and disinformation in their communities.
The participants received an in-depth introduction to the fact-checking platform JamiiCheck and learned how to submit information, verify content, and become active contributors to the verification process. The training also centered on digital security and media literacy and thus strengthened the role of reporters as reliable sources of information.
The energy, engagement, and commitment of these reporters were inspiring! Let’s keep working towards a more informed society!
