## Description

PesaCheck is Africa's largest indigenous fact-checking organization, dedicated to providing accurate information to help citizens make informed decisions. They specialize in debunking misleading claims and deciphering confusing numbers quoted by public figures across 15 African countries. PesaCheck's pioneering verification initiative kickstarts fact-checking in Africa, focusing on financial and statistical numbers in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and have now expanded their reach to countries in East and West Africa, as well as the Sahel. Their fact-checking is conducted in multiple languages, including English, French, Kiswahili, and Amharic. PesaCheck offers a range of services, including tracking political promises, unpacking budget and census data, and developing machine learning and artificial intelligence tools for automated verification. They also collaborate with media and NGOs to establish fact-check teams and train a new generation of civic watchdogs. PesaCheck is an initiative of Code for Africa (CfA) and was established in 2016.
