A groundbreaking civic technology platform, Legis360, has been unveiled with the promise of transforming legislative transparency and civic participation across Africa.
By leveraging artificial intelligence and data science, the platform aims to break down barriers between citizens and their governments.
Legis360 enables real-time tracking of bills, motions, petitions, and committee activities, offering intuitive and open access to legislative processes previously limited to political insiders.
According to Samuel Folorunsho, Project Lead for Legis360, “Our mission is to bridge the gap between the governed and those who govern. Legis360 empowers citizens, journalists, and advocacy groups to participate meaningfully in shaping policies.”
The platform provides a suite of tools designed to make governance more accessible, including AI-powered bill analysis, live committee monitoring, direct communication channels with lawmakers, and a historical database of legislative activities.
It also features advanced search and filtering capabilities for users to easily locate relevant policy information.
“In many parts of Africa, governance is still a closed-door affair,” said Folorunsho. “We are opening those doors, using technology to democratise access and ensure that citizens can hold institutions accountable.”
Legis360 is tailored for a wide range of users—from everyday citizens and civic activists to civil society organisations, journalists, and legislators.
The platform’s emphasis on participatory governance also aligns with broader democratic values, promoting freedoms of expression, association, and assembly.
“We’ve built this tool not just for transparency but for impact,” Folorunsho added.
“Whether you’re a policy researcher, an NGO, or a concerned citizen, Legis360 is your window into the legislative heartbeat of your country.”
As the platform gears up for its official launch, stakeholders are being encouraged to engage, test its features, and provide feedback.
Legis360 is positioning itself not just as a digital tool, but as a movement for people-powered governance in Africa.
