From 1 to 2 October 2025, Cartooning for Peace (CFP) will participate in the 4th edition of the Africa Facts Summit organised by the independent fact-checking organisation Africa Check.
This year’s event is being held in Dakar, Senegal, and will bring together nearly 200 fact-checkers from across the African continent for two days of discussions, synergies and networking in the fight against disinformation.
On this occasion, Cartooning for Peace is presenting an exhibition in partnership with Africa Check, Zimfact and Balobaki. It is part of the ‘Cartooning for Africa Facts’ project, implemented with the support of CFI.
It is also an opportunity to showcase the Illustrated Fact-Checking Manual, produced as part of this project, to all the fact-checkers attending the summit.
Invited by Cartooning for Peace, Lassane Zohoré, an Ivorian cartoonist and member of the CFP network, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the newspaper Gbich!, as well as Senegalese cartoonists Odia and Tijan, are actively participating in the Summit by sketching the discussions and key issues as they arise. Their drawings thus help to raise participants’ awareness of the evocative power of press cartoons and to forge links between fact-checking and press cartoons.
