How KasaGadi Works

KasaGadi is a multilingual marketplace for verified information. It aggregates fact-checked content from trusted Ghanaian fact-checking organisations and connects it directly to the people and platforms who shape public opinion across the country.

1

Aggregating Verified Claims from Trusted Fact-Checkers

KasaGadi continuously collects disinformation and misinformation cases from credible fact-checking entities in Ghana across all key domains:

  • Politics and elections
  • Health and education
  • Agriculture and environment
  • Economy, business and finance
  • Science, technology and more

Each item on the platform is a completed fact-check that has already gone through a rigorous verification process by professional fact-checkers.

Every Fact-Check Follows a Clear, Standard Format

To make verification easy to understand and easy to share, every fact-check on KasaGadi is published using five simple headings:

False Claim

The original statement, rumour or content being circulated.

Research to Verify This Claim

How fact-checkers investigated it – sources consulted, data analysed, fieldwork, expert interviews, and tools used.

Verdict After the Verification

A clear conclusion (e.g. False, True, Misleading, Partly True) based on the evidence.

Date

When the fact-check was completed and published, so users can assess its timeliness.

Link

A direct link back to the full fact-check for those who want more depth and documentation.

This standard structure allows journalists, editors, producers and civil society actors to quickly scan, understand and reuse verified information.

Fast Distribution to Media and Civil Society Across Ghana

KasaGadi is designed as a distribution hub for verified content. It provides a fast, low-friction way to push fact-checked information to:

  • Journalists and editors
  • Radio and TV stations
  • Print and online newsrooms
  • Social media content creators and influencers
  • Civil society organisations and advocacy groups

Because the platform is online and lightweight, it helps verified information travel beyond Accra and regional capitals into hard-to-reach communities and rural areas that are often last to access timely fact-checked content. Without this marketplace, many of these stakeholders would struggle to find and reuse high-quality, up-to-date fact-checks in one place.

Register and Submit Claims You Want Verified

KasaGadi is not just a one-way feed of fact-checks. It is also a request channel. Once journalists, radio/TV producers, print editors, social media entities, civil society groups or news organisations register on the platform, they can:

  • Submit rumours, claims, videos, images or statements they want fact-checkers to verify.
  • Flag emerging narratives in their communities or audiences that require urgent verification.

These submissions flow into a shared pipeline for professional fact-checking organisations, helping them prioritise the most relevant and high-impact claims.

5

Contribute Directly to the Verification Process

Registered users are not only consumers of fact-checks; they can also be contributors to verification. After signing up, stakeholders who are close to a story or have direct knowledge or expertise can:

  • Provide documents, photos, data or first-hand accounts to support investigations.
  • Share local context (language nuances, community dynamics, historical background) that may not be visible from Accra or online sources.

This turns KasaGadi into a collaborative verification network, where fact-checkers and media/civil society partners work together to reach accurate conclusions faster.

6

AI Support in Local Languages for Deeper Context

An integral part of KasaGadi is an AI model trained on local dialects, including Twi (Akan) and Hausa. This model:

  • Understands local expressions, idioms and cultural references that often appear in rumours and viral content.
  • Helps users explore context around a claim through a chat-based Q&A interface.
  • Assists journalists, producers and fact-checkers in the early stages of their work by surfacing relevant background, similar past claims, and potential red flags.

The AI system does not replace human judgment. Instead, it provides language-aware assistance that makes verification in local languages more efficient and context-sensitive.

7

A Two-Way Network that Amplifies Truth

Overall, KasaGadi operates as a two-way street:

  • On one side, professional fact-checking organisations publish verified content in a clear, reusable format for journalists, media houses, social media actors, civil society and news organisations.
  • On the other side, these same stakeholders register, submit claims for verification, contribute evidence, and help surface emerging disinformation trends.

Enabling Faster, Wider, Deeper Truth Across Ghana

By connecting fact-checkers with the people and institutions that shape narratives on radio, TV, print, online and in communities, KasaGadi enables faster detection of harmful falsehoods, more accurate and timely verification, and wider and deeper amplification of truth across Ghana, including rural and hard-to-reach areas.

This is how KasaGadi speaks truth and guards public discourse in Ghana's information space.
