A participation model in development
Start local.
Connect what matters.

Consider the landscape and resources that support a place, alongside its people.
Participation with care
Your information.
Your choice.
Participation is being designed independently of mandatory Meta or social-media login.
This page introduces the idea. Registration and public submissions are not open here, and there is no personal-information form on this page.
Before onboarding opens, the privacy and security design must explain consent, moderation, visibility, storage locations, providers and how to correct or remove information. African-first describes our focus; it is not a promise that all data stays in Africa.
