Non-Partisan Fact-Checking Sites Outside the US


Fact-checking sites outside the US cover issues in their own countries, but may also examine US issues of importance to their country.
Nonpartisan Fact-Checking Websites Outside the US:
Duke Reporter's Lab - Duke University.  Their fact-checking database links to over "...100 non-partisan organizations around the world that...assess the accuracy of statements made by public officials, political parties, candidates, journalists, news organizations, associations, and other groups."  Includes several dozen fact-checking sites in the US.

EU vs Disinformation:  A site from the European Union, created to challenge disinformation coming out of Russia.
Full Fact - A nonprofit, independent fact-checking organization based in the UK.
Africa Check - Produces reports in English and French testing claims made by African public figures, institutions and the media against the best available evidence.
Chequeado - Created by the nonprofit La Voz Pública Foundation. Verifies statements made by public figures and other opinion-forming institutions, and classifies them, from true to false.
