About ANCIR

Committed to Better African Journalism.

The African Network of Centres for Investigative Reporting builds technologies and expertise that enables media and civic watchdogs to generate information about illicit relationships and financial flows, and to make that information available to citizens in useful formats.

ANCIR focusses on using investigative entity analysis and open source intelligence to produce actionable data, and to combat disinformation and digital threats produced by predatory state agencies, malicious corporations, and organised crime.

Blow the Whistle.

Securely share information with Africa's finest journalists.

AfriLEAKS allows you to leak confidential documents of public interest. We've designed the system to help you share these materials while protecting your own identity, making it very hard to identify you as the source of the leak.
