Plural, an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) platform known for tracking public policy across multiple jurisdictions has just announced its expansion into Africa.
The platform seeks to bring political transparency to the continent by enabling access to public policy data in various African jurisdictions, starting with Nigeria and South Africa.
Plural has been working alongside local network organisations since June 2023 to spur economic growth, create political change, simplify the increasing regulatory complexity, develop digital transformation, stimulate transparency and cross-border business expansion.
The Vice President of Plural Africa, Obinna Osisiogu, said in a publication made on Cision PR and sighted by Africa Health Report (AHR), on Tuesday: “In many African states, access to policy data isn’t as frictionless as in the U.S. or EU. Therefore, the need for timely and reliable information becomes crucial for policy advocates, companies, organisations and partners of government as these dynamic economies traverse critical legislative reforms.
“Plural’s entry into the African market is a step towards bringing visibility into the policy process and improving the means to participate in democracy on the continent.”
“Ever since we identified Plural’s synergies with our Policy Pathways, we have been excited to partner with its launch in Africa,” remarked Jennifer Okeke-Ojiudu, Afrilabs’ Senior Ecosystem Engagements Manager.
She went on to say: “Recently, in line with our inclusion efforts, we introduced the RevUp Women initiative to champion women-led, early-stage African enterprises. Beyond backing these businesses, we understand the essential policy shifts needed to tackle institutional barriers facing women-led ventures. We’re proud to spearhead this policy advocacy with Plural’s tools.”
