The ALL #AFFCameroon conference 2024 will be a privileged moment of exchange during which several actors will bring their contributions to work for socio-political stability, good governance, democracy, and peace in Cameroon during the pre-electoral, electoral, and post-electoral periods. This conference is therefore intended to be a starting point for a series of activities to be carried out in the run-up to the elections in Cameroon in 2025, to propose more effective preventive and reactive responses to guide future efforts to protect electoral integrity and prevent electoral violence. More than 500 participants are expected to attend this second edition of the conference.

Launched in January 2022, the Africa Fact-checking Fellowship– #AFFCameroon aims to promote fact-checking, data journalism and digital rights to journalists, bloggers and content creators in Africa. This initiative comes in an environment marked by a proliferation of misleading statements, fabrication of information, photos, videos, deepfake, troll sharing, creation of fake accounts, online scams, slanderous, hateful and dangerous discourse on social media targeting individuals and/or inter-ethnic communities. To date, about 150 Fellowsliving and operating actively in eight out of the ten of Cameroon have received technical, educational and functional support for advanced information verification. The aim is to create a critical mass of fact-checkers, information fighters, online and offline hate speech and digital rights defenders
