AI Meets Democracy: Legis360 Ushers in a New Era of Civic Engagement in Africa

Abuja | Thursday, 10 April

A bold step towards reimagining democratic participation across the continent has just been taken. Legis360, an innovative legislative platform, has officially launched with the mission to transform civic engagement and governance in Africa. Built with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and data science, Legis360 breaks down the traditional barriers between citizens and their governments—championing transparency, accountability, and meaningful participation in policy-making.

Making Legislation Accessible to All

At the heart of Legis360 is the drive to open up legislative processes. Whether you’re a citizen, policymaker, researcher, or advocate, the platform gives you real-time access to bills, motions, petitions, and committee activities. Its AI-powered insights and user-friendly interface ensure legislative business isn’t locked behind closed doors but instead made clear and accessible for everyone.

A Vision of Open and Inclusive Governance

Legis360 envisions an Africa where governance is not only transparent but genuinely inclusive by using technology to bridge the gap between policy and the people, the platform turns legislation into a shared responsibility. It empowers citizens to play active roles in shaping the laws that govern them and ensures institutions are answerable to the public they serve.

Breaking Down Bureaucratic Barriers

Too often, critical governance decisions are hidden within opaque systems that limit public involvement. Legis360 changes that by offering a suite of tools designed to keep everyone in the loop:

• AI-driven bill tracking and analysis – Get instant insights on legislative developments.
• Near real-time legislative updates – Follow deliberations and outcomes as they happen.
• Direct engagement tools – Connect with lawmakers seamlessly.
• Institutional archives – Access a rich database of legislative history.
• Smart search and filters – Easily locate the information that matters to you.
• 
  

Safeguarding Democratic Freedoms

More than just a tech solution, Legis360 defends core democratic principles:

• Freedom of Expression – By simplifying complex legal jargon, it invites more voices into the conversation.
• Freedom of Association – It fosters collaboration among civic groups, journalists, and watchdogs.
• Freedom of Assembly – Advocacy campaigns and citizen-led movements gain a platform to thrive.
• 
  

A Platform for Everyone

Legis360 is designed to serve a wide range of stakeholders:

• Everyday Citizens & Activists – Track legislation and engage with national issues.
• CSOs & Advocacy Organisations – Monitor governance and drive reforms.
• Journalists & Researchers – Analyse trends and provide deeper insights.
• Legislators & Policymakers – Promote transparency and stay connected with the people.
• 
  

By linking these communities together, Legis360 builds resilience within our democratic institutions and keeps governance focused on the people it serves.

Join the Movement

Legis360 is not just a platform, it’s a movement to reimagine how we engage with governance. As the platform moves closer to full deployment, all stakeholders are encouraged to get involved, provide feedback, and play a role in shaping a more open, responsive, and people-centred future.
