The report titled: ‘Countering Electoral Disinformation: Lessons From Ghana’s 2024 Elections‘ highlighted the coalition’s work, tackling mis/disinformation over 8 days in two Media Situation Rooms – in Accra and Tamale.
The coalition analyzed over 140 claims during the election period, revealing significant misinformation. The report revealed the major disinformation tactics and platforms while highlighting challenges the coalition faced. The report also made recommendations for the Electoral Commission, the election security taskforce, the media, international observers and other stakeholders.
The GFC coalition consisted of three fact-checking organisations – GhanaFact, Dubawa Ghana, and Fact-Check Ghana. All three are signatories of the Code of Principles of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).
