01 / Community

Accountability is the work. Technology and people are how it gets done.

Community is a core operating principle, not a feature. The people who use Chakam give it reach and legitimacy, and the platform is designed to grow with them.

  • 01

    Citizens

    The people every answer, record and tool is accountable to.

  • 03

    NGOs

    Extending reach to the places and languages where information is hardest to find.

  • 04

    Journalists

    Tracing claims back to the law and the record that support them.

Corpus
  • Electoral Act
  • Constitution
  • INEC Guidelines
03 / Platform

Three tiers, one system.

The platform holds everything that is shared. A country deployment sets its own accent, map, languages and legal corpus. A state deployment changes one thing: where the dot sits.

Tier 1 / Continental

Chakam Africa

The parent organisation, brand and shared infrastructure. Non-partisan by design.

Active — this site
Tier 2 / Country

Tier 3 / State or regional

State deployments

The host country map at reduced opacity, with one focal dot pinning the state.

In planning

RuleThe focal dot (●) marks the specific state and appears only at Tier 3 — never at Tier 1 or Tier 2.
