The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) is a West African media innovation and development think-tank.

Founded in 2014 as a non-governmental organisation in Nigeria, and initially known as the Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism (PTCIJ), the Centre has been a leader in investigative journalism, innovation, open data, verification, promotion of the welfare and safety of journalist, elections, the freedom of information and expression.

In 2020, the CJID expanded its footprint beyond Nigeria and moved into specific niches in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and The Gambia. This expansion has extended to parts of Francophone Africa, including Cameroon, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Our mission is to leverage journalism, innovation and open data to promote democratic accountability for inclusive and sustainable development.

Our vision is to enable a media landscape that advances the values of democracy.
