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.
