Recognising suspicious activity

Be cautious of people asking for passwords, one-time codes, unusual donations or personal documents outside official site processes. Report suspicious messages or links.

Protect your personal information

Think carefully before sharing identifiable details in public petitions, updates or comments. Avoid publishing other people’s private information or sensitive evidence without permission.

How moderation works

Reports and risk signals may lead to review, restricted visibility or removal. Historical imported records can remain unpublished or held until their provenance and permissions are established.

Organisation and campaign labels

Review badges and campaign information in context. A verification badge indicates a specific process, not an endorsement of all claims or the certainty of an outcome.

If a situation is urgent

For an immediate physical danger or emergency, contact local emergency services. AfricaChange is not an emergency response service.

Report a concern

Use built-in reporting tools when available. You can also send the relevant link and a concise explanation through Contact AfricaChange .
