ANCIR partners with investigative newsrooms to produce data-driven investigative reports using social network analysis, entity analysis and open source intelligence.

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.
