Our Programs

The Center for Global Integrity (CGI) is developing a pan-African portfolio of independent journalism programs designed to strengthen access to credible information, investigate matters of public interest, and promote accountability across Africa and its diaspora communities.

Investigative Journalism & Public Accountability

CGI aims to produce rigorous, evidence-based investigations into corruption, governance, human rights, financial wrongdoing, and abuses of power.

Our approach emphasizes cross-border collaboration, source protection, independent verification, and reporting that serves the public interest.

AfroTruth AI Accountability & Investigative Journalism

CGI's AfroTruth initiative focuses on the growing influence of artificial intelligence across African societies, economies, workplaces, and public institutions.

The program aims to investigate AI deployments, algorithmic discrimination, digital rights, labor-market impacts, corporate accountability, and government use of automated technologies.

Through investigations, accessible explainers, and public discussions, AfroTruth seeks to strengthen transparency and informed debate about emerging technologies.

Multilingual Journalism & Regional Reporting

CGI is developing a multilingual reporting network designed to serve audiences across North, West, Central, East, and Southern Africa.

Our planned language coverage includes Arabic, English, French, Hausa, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Ndebele, Portuguese, Shona, Somali, Swahili, Xhosa, and Zulu, with opportunities for expansion as resources become available.

The program seeks to reach underserved communities through locally informed journalism and cross-border collaboration.

Fact-Checking & Media Literacy

CGI aims to counter disinformation through independent fact-checking, verification, explanatory journalism, and public media-literacy initiatives.

Our work will help audiences evaluate information critically and recognize misleading or manipulated content.

Community Engagement & Public Dialogue

CGI plans to organize town halls, moderated discussions, interviews, and other community-centered activities connecting journalists, citizens, and relevant institutions.

These initiatives will encourage informed participation in public affairs and create opportunities for communities to raise issues that deserve journalistic attention.

Journalism Training & Professional Development

CGI seeks to strengthen professional journalism through training in investigative methods, digital verification, multimedia storytelling, ethical reporting, source protection, and responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Training initiatives will support journalists working in diverse linguistic, cultural, and media environments across Africa.
