As r0g_agency for open culture and critical transformation we are proud and honored to have a partnership with ADISI to strengthen the #defyhatenow initiative against social media hate speech and online incitement to violence. #AFFC - the African Factchecking Fellowship Cameroon, a key #defyhatenow training programme being run and developed by ADISI, is an exemplary contribution to active peacebuilding through the strengthening of media literacy skills. In today's volatile media charged world, where influence on local events and crises comes not just from within the country but from anywhere there is access to the internet, the programme's work is a model for identifying fact from fiction and disinformation, not just in Cameroon, but for the rest of Africa - and beyond!

I have really enjoyed working with ADISI Cameroon in the past two years. The organization has established a reputation for itself as the foremost advocate for freedom of expression, access to information and accountable governance in Cameroon.

ADISI creates engaging and timely content and its innovation and creativity in using various platforms to draw attention to critical issues in the country is outstanding. The responsiveness of the staff and their ability to quickly turn ideas into practical and impactful projects makes working with them from a funder’s perspective, very rewarding.

L'engagement de l’ADISI-Cameroun pour la démocratie et la défense des droits de l'homme n'est plus à démontrer. Il convient de reconnaître, par son positionnement assumé et sans ambiguïté, dans un contexte africain aux défis multiples d'édification de l'etat de droit, d'approfondissement de la démocratie, que ADISI Cameroun est parvenue à engranger des résultats pertinents et à impulser une bonne dynamique institutionnelle. Les 5 prochaines années seront l'occasion, à travers son nouveau plan de stratégie, pour ADISI-Cameroun de conforter son positionnement et amorcer ainsi l'étape de l'apogée organisationnelle pour le bien du Cameroun et de l¹Afrique.

ADISI-Cameroun continues to do excellent investigative journalism work on the challenges facing Cameroon today. The organization’s coverage of the country’s conflicts and governance challenges effectively uses a statistics-based approach to demonstrate the true impact on citizen’s lives. The ADISI website’s fact-checking section and the organization’s continued trainings for journalists on fact checking has raised awareness to disinformation in the Cameroonian media landscape. ADISI has also become a leader in Cameroon on the Open Government initiatives to revolutionize citizen’s relationship with the government and increase transparency from the local level to the national government. Finally, the organization’s engagement with international organizations, media outlets, foreign governments, and domestic stakeholders are a testament to ADISI’s ability to raise awareness of the critical issues facing Cameroon both domestically and internationally.
