Standards Interconnection Framework

Hover over or tap any standard to reveal its connections. Each line represents a compliance dependency, data flow requirement, or regulatory alignment that AfriVest maintains across its platform infrastructure. The three layers — international, continental, and national — form a cascading compliance architecture where higher-level standards inform and shape lower-level implementations.

Cascading Compliance Layers

AfriVest's compliance architecture operates across three distinct but interconnected layers. International standards set the global baseline, the Malabo Convention harmonizes these for the African context, and national laws provide jurisdiction-specific requirements that our platform addresses at the code level.

How Standards Flow Through AfriVest

Every action on the AfriVest platform — from identity verification to cross-border settlement — triggers a cascade of compliance checks that span all three layers. Here is how a typical transaction flows through our standards architecture.
