Afriwise

Afriwise is a web-based legal and regulatory intelligence platform that lets you research African laws, track legal and regulatory changes, and generate compliance documentation across 40+ African jurisdictions. You access it through a browser to search legislation and guidance, set up monitoring and alerts, and use tools like comparison tables, regulatory trackers, and compliance outputs to turn legal requirements into actionable steps.

Afriwise is a paid subscription service, with public listings indicating a starting price of around US$500 per feature per year. Exact pricing depends on your configuration and needs, so you typically need to contact Afriwise for a tailored quote.

Afriwise operates across more than 40 African countries, covering about 85% of Africa’s economy. Coverage includes countries such as Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and others, plus selected Middle Eastern jurisdictions relevant to African business like Bahrain, Oman and the UAE.

You can sign up for Afriwise by reaching out to the team to request access or a demo, then onboarding to the web platform once your subscription is agreed. Prospective users typically start by contacting Afriwise via the website or email to discuss requirements and pricing.

Afriwise is best suited for in-house legal departments, compliance and risk teams, and advisory or professional services firms that need current multi-country legal and regulatory intelligence for African markets. It is particularly useful for organisations operating in or expanding across several African jurisdictions who must monitor legal change and document compliance.
