It is an open, free and searchable repository of ICT law and policy documents from across Africa — constitutions, conventions, Acts, regulations and other legal documents — organised by country, region and topic.

The database is a project of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law (CIPIT), based at Strathmore Law School in Nairobi, Kenya.

Documents are sourced directly from government offices across the continent and converted to PDF or HTML where needed. All data published in the database is in the public domain.

Email us at cipit@strathmore.edu with the country, the document, and what needs updating, and we will verify it against the official source.

Jadili (Swahili for “discussion”) is CIPIT's companion platform for public participation in policymaking — it hosts bills and proposed regulations for public comment. This database is the reference record of laws and policies; Jadili is where the public can weigh in on drafts.

Yes. Everything in the database is public-domain legal and policy material, free to read, download and cite.
