Fact-Checking & Information Verification In South Sudan

211 Check is South Sudan’s first and only independent fact-checking and information verification flagship project established by Defyhatenow in March 2020 to counter COVID-19 dis/misinformation but has since grown in its scope of work. It became a signatory of the International Fact-checking Network’s (IFCN) Code of Principles in March 2023.

If you believe that 211 Check is violating the IFCN Code of Principles, you can report this through the complaints page on the IFCN site.
