Facts should not get lost in translation.🗣️

At @penplusbytes’ research launch and multilingual marketplace, conversations centered on an important question: how do we make credible information accessible and useful to more people in Ghana?

Language is indispensable and the ability to understand, verify, and question information should not be confined to a particular language or linguistic strain or dialect.

As information spreads across communities and digital spaces, multilingual approaches to fact-checking can help bring credible evidence closer to the people who need it.

We were glad to be part of this conversation on moving from evidence to innovation on information integrity as our work in simplifying the national budget across all rungs of the literacy span and social framework sits at this very intersection and we believe that targeted investment and engagement is needed to strengthen this work across the country.
