The Museba Project is an online publication operated by MUSEBA Journalism Project, a non profit media organization dedicated to watchdog journalism in Central Africa and the Great Lakes region.
We want to make the practices of corruption, organized crime, illicit finance and human rights violations from our region heard far and wide. That’s why we call ourselves MUSEBA, which means trumpet in one of Cameroon’s coastal languages.
We have been in existence since the end of 2019.
MISSION
We not only use the tools of fearless journalism to expose wrongdoing in the public and private sector. We train a new generation in adversarial journalism. We push for change.
PEOPLE
MUSEBA uses a collaborative approach with a dozen journalists from the region under the guidance of leaders.
