PesaCheck
PesaCheck is a groundbreaking fact-checking initiative that is driving truth verification in East Africa. Originally, it concentrated on validating financial figures and statistical claims made by public officials in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Now, PesaCheck has expanded its efforts to monitor political commitments through the Wajibisha toolkit and to analyze budget and census data via the PesaYetu platform. Additionally, PesaCheck assists media organizations and NGOs in forming their own independent fact-checking teams. Supported by the innovateAFRICA.fund, PesaCheck also receives backing from the International Budget Partnership, Code for Africa, and the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ).

The cover has images of syringes and another one of a crowd at a rally, with one of the participants holding a placard with a text that reads: “Vaccines injured my sons”.
