> **Research Digital Infrastructure (RDI) — Data Governance for Intelligent Justice Systems**
---
## 🌍 Research Vision
This repository is the **official Research Digital Infrastructure (RDI)** of **DJORO Yoboukoua Lionel Arnaud**, supporting the complete scientific lifecycle of the **Data Governance for Intelligent Justice Systems** research programme.
The overarching vision is to design, validate, and disseminate **evidence-based frameworks** enabling African judiciaries to govern data responsibly, integrate AI ethically, and achieve measurable improvements in access to justice, transparency, and institutional integrity — consistent with the rule of law and African continental integration objectives (AU Agenda 2063, ECOWAS Digital Agenda).
This infrastructure adheres to the **FAIR principles** (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and is designed for long-term integration with ORCID, Zenodo, SSRN, OpenAIRE, and GitHub Pages.
> *From Data to Justice. From Governance to Trust.*
