iVerify is a fact-checking digital product which combats the spread of false narratives during election periods by combining new technology like AI and machine learning with human-supported fact-checking. Developed by UNDP through the Brussels-based Task Force on Electoral Assistance and the Chief Digital Office, the platform has been piloted in Zambia, ahead of the historic August 2021 general elections, and first used in the general election in Honduras November 2021. By mid 2024, iVerify has been deployed in Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, and North Macedonia.
Social media companies provide proprietary APIs to access their technologies (Meta's Crowdtangle for Facebook and Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, etc). Nevertheless, without access to these proprietary APIs, the iVerify tool still functions albeit requiring a manual submission rather than having an automated process. It is built in a modular way that allows for certain features to be enabled or disabled while still functioning as a whole.
