Provenance4Trust in Cameroon: Strengthening Digital Resilience in Kribi
The fight for information integrity is a global mission that requires local precision. In late 2025, UncovAI joined forces with TrustMyContent in Kribi, Cameroon, for an intensive strategic planning workshop.
This landmark event focused on a single, vital goal: building a coordinated, data-driven defense against disinformation in Central Africa.
A Coordinated Defense Against Disinformation
Over three days, the Kribi workshop served as a hub for local stakeholders, technical experts, and partner organizations. The mission was clear: move beyond reactive fact-checking toward a proactive, context-aware strategy for strengthening trustworthy information ecosystems.
The sessions covered the full spectrum of modern digital resilience:
Structured Monitoring: Identifying emerging narratives before they reach critical mass.
In-Depth Technical Analysis: Utilizing AI-driven tools to parse through "information disorder".
Stakeholder Collaboration: Connecting government officials, civil society, and tech innovators to close the gaps in digital governance.

The Power of Provenance in Africa
As part of the Provenance4Trust program—funded by the French Ministry of Culture—this initiative brings cutting-edge provenance tagging and AI detection to the forefront of African media.
By implementing tools that make the origins and transformations of digital content traceable, we are not just detecting lies; we are certifying the truth. Our work in Cameroon is a testament to our commitment to digital transparency and the creation of standard infrastructures for reliable news.
