Portfolio

Initiatives across production, incubation, and research

Each programme addresses a critical need: sovereign collaboration, reliable dependency distribution, and software supply chain security for Africa.

Production

GitForge.africa

Sovereign code forge to host repositories, issue tracking, CI/CD pipelines, and code reviews on continental infrastructure.

Expected impact: Lower service disruption risk from external platform dependencies for critical projects.

Technical base: Git, CI/CD, IAM, observability

Incubation

AfriRegistry

Regional registry to distribute npm, PyPI, and container images with local mirrors and trust policies.

Expected impact: Reduced latency, higher availability, and stronger control over software artifacts.

Technical base: Registry federation, cache, signatures, policy engine

Track incubation

Research

AIForge Secure

R&D programme for code analysis, compliance, and software supply chain hardening in sovereign environments.

Expected impact: Faster audits and stronger trust for public institutions and private operators.

Technical base: SBOM, SAST, provenance, dashboards

Roadmap 2026-2027

We execute in waves: core hardening, regional federation, then service industrialisation.

Q3 2026

Core stack hardening

Strengthen architecture, backups, and incident recovery procedures.

Q4 2026

Multi-site federation

Connect regional nodes and align shared governance standards.

Q1 2027

Partner expansion

Scale access for institutions, universities, and businesses through a unified onboarding framework.

How we select projects

TheAfriForge supports initiatives that serve the public interest and strengthen African digital autonomy.

Sovereignty value

The project must reduce a critical structural dependency.

Ecosystem impact

The project must be reusable by multiple actors across the continent.

Security maturity

The project must integrate security and auditability by design.

Knowledge transfer

The project must enable local skills development and open documentation.
