CitiZone

CitiZone is an all-in-one local-governance platform for Francophone African municipalities that lets authorities register a territory, residents join as verified "e-Citizens," and everyone map public assets, track public-works budgets, report hazards, vote on priorities, and query a legal AI, all working down to a 2G phone via SMS/USSD.

Built around four modules (a digital asset registry, a public-works/NGO project tracker with live budget and completion bars, a legal-rights AI assistant covering penal, family, land and tax codes, and a participation engine for hazard reports and community polls), CitiZone aims to turn a "paper commune" into an auditable, timestamped digital instance. It's explicitly designed for low-connectivity settings, collapsing into a numbered USSD-style menu so residents can report a burst pipe or cast a vote from any basic handset.
