Transparency & Methodology
Transparency & Methodology
This repository is designed to be a trustworthy, research-grade resource. Every document included here follows a transparent curation process to ensure its authenticity, relevance, and accuracy. The methodology used is as outlined:
Verified sources only: All documents are sourced from official government websites, continental bodies (like the African Union), recognized research institutions (e.g., CIPIT, Smart Africa), or global policy networks.
Clear classification: Each document is tagged with its country, publication year, type (e.g., strategy, draft bill, long-term plan), status (draft/final), and language.
Continuous updates: The repository is regularly updated as new AI policy documents are published or validated.
No interpretations added: The full texts are preserved as-is, with links leading to official or view-only Google Drive versions for clean access.
Community verification: Users are encouraged to suggest edits or flag outdated/missing documents using a submission form.
This transparent process ensures the repository remains reliable for academic citation, policymaking, and cross-border benchmarking.
