About the Center for Global Integrity<\/span><\/p>\n

The Center for Global Integrity (CGI) is an independent nonprofit journalism organization registered in Maryland, United States, with a pan-African mission to strengthen access to credible information, advance investigative journalism, and promote transparency and public accountability.<\/p>\n

CGI brings together experienced journalists, editors, broadcasters, and media professionals committed to delivering independent, fact-based journalism across Africa and to African diaspora communities worldwide.<\/p>\n

Our Story<\/span><\/p>\n

CGI was established in response to the growing need for independent and trustworthy journalism across Africa, particularly following the suspension of Voice of America’s African broadcasting services in March 2025.<\/p>\n

Founded by experienced media professionals, CGI builds on decades of expertise in investigative reporting, multilingual broadcasting, editorial leadership, and public-interest journalism.<\/p>\n

Our organization seeks to help address gaps in credible news coverage, counter disinformation, and strengthen the public’s access to reliable information.<\/p>\n

Our Pan-African Commitment<\/span><\/p>\n

CGI’s mission extends across North, West, Central, East, and Southern Africa, reaching communities through major African and international languages spoken across the continent.<\/p>\n

We are developing a multilingual journalism network designed to serve diverse audiences, including rural communities, young people, women, and populations often underserved by mainstream news organizations.<\/p>\n

Our approach combines locally informed reporting, cross-border investigations, multimedia storytelling, and direct community engagement.<\/p>\n

AI Accountability & Investigative Journalism<\/sub><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence is transforming governance, business, employment, communication, and public life. CGI recognizes the importance of independent journalism in examining how these technologies are developed, deployed, and regulated across Africa.<\/p>\n

Through its AfroTruth AI Accountability & Investigative Journalism Initiative and broader reporting programs, CGI aims to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on workers, communities, public institutions, and democratic accountability.<\/p>\n

Our journalism will examine algorithmic bias, digital rights, data protection, corporate responsibility, government use of AI, and the social and economic consequences of emerging technologies.<\/p>\n

CGI combines the expertise of experienced investigative journalists with responsible, human-supervised use of technology to produce rigorous investigations, accessible explanatory reporting, and informed public discussions.<\/p>\n

Editorial Independence<\/span><\/p>\n

CGI is committed to accuracy, fairness, verification, transparency, and the highest standards of journalistic integrity.<\/p>\n

Our editorial decisions are guided by the public interest and remain independent of political, commercial, governmental, and other external influences.<\/p>\n

We believe that independent journalism must question authority, investigate wrongdoing, and provide audiences with credible information that enables informed participation in public life.<\/p>\n

Our Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

To build a trusted, multilingual pan-African journalism institution that connects communities through credible information, strengthens public accountability, advances responsible technological development, and supports informed civic participation across Africa and its diaspora.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
