The combination of technology, editors and an in-country network
Sources beyond conventional reach
Afriwise does not rely solely on publicly accessible websites. Its editorial team and in-country network help identify legal and regulatory materials that may be fragmented, difficult to locate or not generally available online.
Editors review adds context
A source document alone does not always explain why a development matters. Afriwise editors review, classify and summarise relevant developments, so you can determine what deserves attention and where further assessment may be required.
The underlying source stays visible
Where a published source exists, move from the alert to the underlying legislation, regulation or notice — verify the development yourself and continue your own analysis.
Built on longstanding monitoring experience
Powered by more than 20 years of regulatory-monitoring experience supporting highly regulated organisations — Sentinel's capabilities now form part of the wider Afriwise legal and regulatory intelligence platform.
"An immediate bird's eye view on the regulatory framework of our industry. The automatic alerts keep me on top of any change heading our way to prepare proactively."
Move from everything that is changing to what matters to your organisation
Afriwise Regulatory Monitoring identifies developments across selected jurisdictions and legal areas. An Interactive Legal Universe goes further: it defines the specific legislation relevant to an organisation, operation, site or business activity — and monitors that selected body of law as it changes. Legal and compliance teams can distinguish between a potentially relevant market development, a change to legislation that applies to the organisation, and a requirement that should become a tracked obligation or action.
Use specialist advice where the facts require it
Regulatory alerts and analysis provide general legal and regulatory intelligence. They do not replace legal advice based on an organisation's particular activities, structure, licences or circumstances. Where a development requires more, users can request clarification about its general meaning or status, identify an appropriate in-country specialist, arrange a call with a relevant expert, or request proposals from partner firms for more substantive work.
