Understanding Influence Operations and Coordinated Disinformation Campaigns | DWA Public Online Sessions.

Code for Africa's Academy offers free online webinars and MOOC-style training, alongside face-to-face training in an African city near you.

Our courses are all designed to give new practical digital skills, for people working in watchdog media, civil society, and progressive government agencies as well as for university students.

If you're keen to learn a new skill, or brush up on an old one, register now for any of our courses including data literacy and digital journalism, fact-checking and verification, investigative research etc. We've also got a big focus on digital security and sustainability/business models. Registered participants are regularly invited to additional specialist workshops on topics such as how to use drones for civic good, or how to use low-cost sensors for citizen science (to monitor air/water quality), and how to tap into satellite imagery/data for everything from geo-journalism to monitoring conflict zones.

Launched in 2017, the initiative has been underwritten by a consortium of international partners that includes the Deutsche Welle Akademie, the Google News Initiative, Meedan and the World Bank. The courses are designed and presented by industry experts, using open data and open source toolkits.
