Information Resilience and Media Literacy Ideathon 2024

Nukta Africa in partnership with Africa Check and Meta implemented the Information Resilience and Media Literacy Ideathon to strengthen responses to disinformation across Africa. The ideathon brought together diverse stakeholders to co-create innovative, practical solutions that promote media literacy and information resilience. Dozens of innovators participated in pitching in December 2024 in Dar es Salaam where three winners including Jamii Media were awarded for their innovative solutions. 

Impact: The most promising ideas emerging from the ideathon were refined and tested in-country, with technical and strategic support. Selected solutions moved beyond the ideathon stage toward pilot implementation and potential scaling across multiple African countries.
