# SIVIQ Africa
SIVIQ Africa is a civic accountability app for communities to report, discuss, verify, and track public projects across Kenya. It combines social discovery, evidence-based project reporting, leader rankings, direct messaging, notifications, and privacy/security controls into one civic participation platform.
The goal is simple: help citizens turn local observations into structured civic intelligence.
## What SIVIQ Does
- Lets users create civic project reports with county, sub-county, location, status, description, and evidence images.
- Supports project approvals, disapprovals, comments, replies, sharing, reporting, and moderation.
- Shows localized home feeds with `For You`, `Trending`, and `Discover` tabs.
- Provides leader rankings based on weekly SIVIQ score snapshots, project links, and community signals.
- Includes leader detail pages with associated projects and transparency metadata.
- Supports public profiles, SIVIQ codes, follow/follower discovery, direct chats, group chats, and verified badges.
- Includes notification settings, security activity, trusted devices, active sessions, app lock, PIN, biometrics, data export, legal history, and account deletion recovery flows.
## Product Vision
SIVIQ is not built to be ordinary social media. It is designed as civic infrastructure:
- Citizens report what they see.
- Communities discuss and validate evidence.
- Leaders and offices can be evaluated through public project outcomes.
- Moderators protect the platform from abuse.
- Rankings remain transparent, snapshot-based, and independent from paid influence.
