PROJECT SUMMARY

With the preponderance of false/fake news, especially on social media, and the global outcry against the trend, Facebook needed to show that it is really serious about the spread of such on its platform. As a result, Facebook launched the 3rd Party Fact-Checking Programme in countries like South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. When it decided to extend the campaign to Senegal, Client briefed Chain Reactions Nigeria to provide strategic PR support for the Senegal event.
