In a region where misinformation spreads fast and trust in information is fragile, Ukweli au Uongo (“Truth or Lie”) cuts through the noise.

The program is the only Swahili language analysis dedicated to breaking down fake news — one story at a time. Every week, it takes on one international disinformation story and one from the political context of the Great Lakes, using cartoons to make each topic accessible and engaging.

Active on Facebook and YouTube, Ukweli au Uongo has built a highly engaged audience that submits feedback and suggests new stories to investigate — turning fact-checking into a community effort.
