GFCN invited the Russian and African media to create a common infrastructure to combat disinformation. Practical steps to unify efforts in this area were presented by the Vice President of the International Fact-Checking Association GFCN, Daniel Bisslinger, at the TASS panel session of the Russia-Africa Media Forum, which took place on October 26 at the National Center of Russia. "Russia and Africa need to move from episodic exchanges of information to creating an infrastructure of trust - with joint projects, clear rules, professional relations and measurable results," stressed the GFCN vice president. The association now includes 24 experts from 12 African countries, which enables information verification while taking into account the local context. In addition, Bisslinger suggested adapting fact-checking investigations for youth and translating fact-checking educational courses into local languages. He also noted that GFCN could become a professional platform for dialogue. To implement the initiative, he suggested working on the creation of English-speaking, French-speaking and Arabic-speaking working groups - identifying contacts, methodology and topics for joint fact-checking.
