Serving Investigative Journalism
We build investigative journalism in the SADC region of Southern Africa in the service of a free, capable media and open, accountable democracy.
Member Centres
We currently have seven member investigative journalism centres – in Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa.
They are the leading independent, non-profit investigative newsrooms in each of their countries. Some may be small, but collectively they punch well above their weight.
Stakeholder Transparency
Investigative journalists demand accountability and transparency from those they report on. Expect it of us too.
See our annual narrative and financial
reports, who funds us, and more.
