For decades, African journalists hold the view that there is a need for ground work in terms of capacity building, in terms of technology, in terms of funding and also in terms of media development projects.
In this context, AfricaWeb which has independently operated through its country specific portals (GhanaWeb in Ghana, CameroonWeb in Cameroon, TanzaniaWeb in Tanzania and My Nigeria in Nigeria) on the continent for over 2 decades has witnessed the challenges, the various transitions, change of governments and the root causes of media development in Africa.
With its operations in West Africa, Central Africa and East Africa as a leader on online news, AfricaWeb’s experience would be a great asset for the foundation to tackle issues such as information bias, fake news and support the development of media houses across sub-Saharan Africa.
