Spread the love

The National Media Commission (NMC) has welcomed the formation of the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition aimed to “to mitigate the menacing threat misinformation and disinformation pose to the country’s peace, stability and democratic consolidation.”

This comes after the Media Foundation for West Africa, Dubawa, FactSpace West Africa and other civil society organisations working on information integrity announced the formation of the Coalition.

George Sarpong, NMC Executive Secretary, in a statement signed and issued on Sunday, November 10, congratulated all the organisations involved in the ground-breaking Coalition, stating that it was one of the most crucial interventions needed to protect our nation’s information space in the last lap to the elections.

“The deluge of malign information operations observed from both internal and external sources in the past couple of weeks gives cause for concern. By choosing to leverage their collective experience, expertise, credibility and resources, the Coalition has enhanced Ghana’s capacity to address these threats and offered hope for the containment of disinformation and Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).

“The Commission encourages all stakeholders working to promote peaceful elections to cooperate with the Coalition.

“The National Media Commission hopes to support the Coalition by making available to them our Ghana Media Watch App, a cutting-edge technology for monitoring disinformation planned to be launched on Thursday, November 14, 2024,” he further stated
