The Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF) and the Whistleblowers and Journalists Safety International Center (WAJSIC) are hosting a training session in Accra, Ghana, on investigative journalism and the pivotal role of whistleblowers in investigations. Crimes such as corruption, money laundering, terrorism financing, and embezzlement of public funds significantly undermine the stability and development of a state. Whistleblowers, who uncover actions contrary to the public interest, play crucial roles by reporting them publicly or to competent authorities during their professional activities.
