DUBAWA: defending truth in the information age

DUBAWA is a leading West African fact-checking initiative with a growing global reputation for rigorous, non-partisan verification. On this WhatsApp channel, you’ll find carefully researched fact-checks, explainers on Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), and practical guides to recognise fraudulent investment platforms, political spin and viral hoaxes. The focus is evergreen: helping you build lasting skills to question, verify and share responsibly.

What makes this fact-checking channel stand out

Unlike generic news feeds, DUBAWA turns complex verification work into simple, shareable insights tailored for everyday WhatsApp users. You don’t just get verdicts on claims; you learn how patterns of disinformation work, how AI can be misused to deceive, and how citizens, journalists and creators can disrupt the business of disinformation together.
