Big news!
Our investigative series Democracy Deferred has WON the 2025 @INN Nonprofit News Award
Praised by judges as “far and away the best entry I’ve read,” the project exposed the flaws of Nigeria’s 2023 elections with powerful data-driven storytelling.
#DemocracyDeferred
@inecnigeria called the 2023 Nigerian general election a move toward transparency.
But CCIJ found issues such as missing documents, result discrepancies, and skipped voter accreditation, raising concerns about the election's integrity.

When Nigerian election officials tabulated ballots during last year’s presidential election in the southern metropolis of Port Harcourt, something unusual happened: They began crossing out votes for certain political parties.
Officials for at least five polling sites in Port Harcourt’s Obio-Akpor local government area, a swath of roughly half a million people in the capital of Rivers state, took pen to paper and eliminated hundreds of votes before uploading tally sheets to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s computer system.

Ahead of state elections in Maharashtra, a hoarding taunts my fellow Punekars for caring more about US politics than local issues.
Translation: Dear Elite Punekars, elections in the US are over, please go vote in (your local constituency that matters) Shivajinagar and Kothrud.
We are thrilled to announce that CCIJ's investigative journalists @FrederickJC1, @AngSonja and Margaret Courtney-Clarke have won The Journalist of the Year Award at the 2024 Editors' Forum of Namibia Journalism Awards! @NamMediaTrust
Their impactful 3-part investigation into Namibia’s sanitation crisis brought to light critical issues, raised awareness, and highlighted the voices of communities in need. This award is a testament to their hard work, integrity, and commitment to shedding light on important societal challenges.
At CCIJ, we remain committed to empowering journalists who drive change through impactful storytelling.
We are incredibly proud of Freddie, Sonja, and Margaret for this well-deserved recognition.
@hesAyoAjiboye@the_ccij@SotSideris@ajibolaamzat Hi, Ayo. Witnessing actual change from an investigation is the biggest impact goal. Start small. How many reposts/republications did the story get? Most importantly, was it able to spark conversation around the issue especially with the target audience? #CCIJAskTheJournalists.
@Deeewise@the_ccij@ajibolaamzat For data collection, we often rely on scraping with Python. For data analysis, Python remains our primary tool. When it comes to data cleaning and normalization, OpenRefine is still my go-to tool. We use spreadsheets to share cleaned and structured data with reporters.
