Meedan is pleased to announce the release of its annual report for 2022. The report provides an analysis of our achievements, impact, and initiatives over the past year, highlighting our commitment to strengthen global journalism, digital literacy, and accessibility of information.
In 2022 we advanced our vision of an internet where communities can effectively create and share the context needed to promote civic, public, and individual health and safety. This report showcases the dedication and hard work of our team, partners, and stakeholders who have collectively contributed to our success.
Key highlights of the report include:
- In a strategic move to enhance our impact, Meedan merged its approach to programming, resulting in the launch of Meedan Community Impact Programs. We're expanding our network of partner organizations in over 50 countries to combat the surge of misinformation and harmful content online. Our focus spans three key verticals: Elections, Crisis Responses, and Engaging Safe and Inclusive Online Ecosystems.
- Meedan's Check continues to be at the forefront of empowering fact-checking initiatives worldwide. Our cutting-edge technology enables over 45 fact-checking organizations to establish misinformation tiplines on end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms like WhatsApp.
- Our research continues to focus on increasing equitable access to quality information. We serve as a bridge between practitioners, community organizations, and academic researchers.

We collaborated with 53 partner organizations worldwide to design and carry out our 2024 elections projects. We extend special gratitude to our lead partners in Brazil, Mexico and Pakistan, whose work we highlight in this essay.
The 2024 elections projects featured in here would not have been possible without the generous support of these funders.
