The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) will convene the CJID Ghana Media Summit on Thursday, 9 July 2026, in Accra, bringing together journalists, policymakers, civil society leaders, academics, and regional institutions to examine the growing impact of disinformation on democratic governance across West Africa.

Themed “Defending Democracy in West Africa — The Role of Media,” the Summit marks seven years of CJID’s work in Ghana through DUBAWA Ghana, its flagship fact-checking initiative, which has become one of the region’s leading platforms for verification, media literacy, and information integrity.
