💨 Abstract

The African Union (AU) and UNESCO have launched a framework to strengthen information integrity across Africa. This initiative aims to combat misinformation and promote reliable media environments. Key components include enhancing digital literacy, improving media professionalism, and supporting fact-checking organizations. The framework encourages AU member states to develop national strategies to address misinformation and promote media accountability. UNESCO will provide technical assistance and training. Collaboration among governments, civil society, and the private sector is emphasized to create an inclusive information governance system.
