Fact-Check Ghana is a non-profit fact-checking project of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) established in 2016 to promote fact-based public discourse. Based in Accra, it monitors speeches, policy documents, news reports and social media to identify checkable claims that affect public life. A dedicated team of journalists and researchers investigates these claims using primary data, official records and subject-matter experts, and publishes clear verdicts—ranging from false and misleading to mostly true—along with sourcing and a transparent corrections policy. The outlet’s coverage spans politics, governance, the economy and public health, and increasingly includes analysis of manipulated media and AI-generated content. During election cycles, Fact-Check Ghana plays a frontline role: it fact-checked 2016 campaign claims at scale, partnered with the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) in 2020 to counter falsehoods around the polls, and in 2024 helped form the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition with DUBAWA Ghana and GhanaFact to coordinate nationwide monitoring and rapid debunks. Beyond publishing, the team provides capacity-building for newsrooms and broadcasters; its editor and team lead, Kwaku Krobea Asante, regularly trains journalists, including in UNESCO-backed sessions ahead of the 2024 vote. In 2023, the project received support from Poynter’s Global Fact Check Fund. Fact-Check Ghana’s mission is to protect information integrity and help citizens, journalists and decision-makers ground debates in verifiable evidence.
