HakiFedha/africa-financial-tyranny-index

An index tracking financial repression against African civil society. Documenting how states abuse financial infrastructure to suppress dissent through arbitrary account freezes, foreign funding restrictions, mandatory state banking, and AML/CFT regulations weaponised for political control. # Africa Financial Tyranny Index (AFTI) A documented incident register tracking financial repression against African civil society. Documenting how states abuse financial infrastructure to suppress dissent through arbitrary account freezes, foreign funding restrictions, mandatory state banking, and AML/CFT regulations weaponised for political control. **Structure:** AFTI is a tracker, not a scored index. Each entry is a discrete, sourced incident with its own status (Active, Partially Resolved, Under Investigation, Positive Reform, Proposed, Historical, or Allegations Unconfirmed). It does not aggregate incidents into a single ranking or country score. A country with no entry means no incident has yet been documented and verified, not that nothing has happened there. --- > ⚠️ **Project Status: Work in Progress** > HakiFedha is a young project, and this index is an evolving work in progress. It is not exhaustive; it documents strictly confirmed, sourced incidents. The true scale of financial repression across Africa is certainly larger. Many incidents go unreported because organisations fear drawing further attention to themselves, while others lack coverage by credible media or legal documentation. > > Contributions, corrections, and new incident reports are welcome and encouraged at hakifedha.org or securely via email at `hakifedha@proton.me`. --- ## Repository Contents * **Explore the Structured CSV Dataset** — Mapping country indicators and documented financial censorship events. * **Download the Full Narrative PDF Report Here** (not up to date like the CSV data). ## Data Contributions & Feedback If your organisation has documented or experienced financial censorship, or if you have updates to the existing data models, please submit reports securely via hakifedha.org or contact us directly at `hakifedha@proton.me`. --- ## Licensing All data models, structured datasets, and narrative report files contained in this repository are open-source and licensed un …
