As of February 2025, Droit-Afrique’s extensive collection of legal texts and regulatory materials is fully integrated into Afriwise’s digital platform, significantly expanding the legal research capabilities available to businesses, law firms, and compliance professionals operating across the continent.
This collaboration ensures that the over 2000 users of Afriwise will now also be able to gain seamless access to Droit-Afrique’s vast repository of legal resources across 19 Francophone African jurisdictions, including laws, regulations, decrees, and administrative documents. By combining Afriwise’s AI-powered legal research tools with Droit-Afrique’s trusted legal content, professionals will now benefit from a single, structured, and intelligent platform for navigating the complex legal landscapes in almost 40 African countries.
