African Cities Expert
Cross-verified expertise for urban development in Africa.
Go to African Cities ExpertThe challenge
A trust platform for verified expertise and documented project experience in African urban development.
Hiring and partnership decisions often rely on self-declared CVs that are difficult to verify. African Cities Expert links every professional claim to a documented project and a contribution confirmed independently by both the organisation and the expert.
Principle
Cross-confirmation, not self-declaration
Our approach
Designed to become useful in practice.
From idea to lasting capability.
An organisation publishes a project, its deliverables and the experts who contributed.
Each expert confirms, adjusts or rejects the description of their contribution.
A double-confirmed experience receives a traceable certification and appears on the expert’s public profile.
Verified experience feeds exportable CVs and helps organisations build teams on documented track records.
What it enables
Knowledge that supports action.
- Cross-confirmed professional experience
- Permanent professional profiles and identifiers
- CVs adapted to institutional formats
- Teams built on verified track records
- Private project publication with certified contributions
