From Cameroon, “The Continent,” to the African continent, #AFFCameroon remains committed to building verification capacity & information resilience, with the support of local and international partners.
🌟Bonne semaine 🌟
Faites-en une semaine de preuves, pas d’opinions.
Nous ne demandons pas qui l’a dit. Nous demandons, est-ce vrai ?
#AFFCameroon
🌟 Happy new week🌟
Make it a week of evidence, not opinions.
We don’t ask who said it. We ask: is it true?

Our #AFFCameroon Cohort 2 fellows trained with @vianney_forewah on protecting their sources, data & devices in the age of AI.
Serious work needs serious security.

Would you publish a story written by AI without checking it?
Victoria Bamas taught our #AFFCameroon Cohort 2 fellows why every AI output must be verified, questioned & never trusted blindly.
