The Sovereign Verification Backbone for African Agricultural Finance
Deployed on AWS with Nigeria-region data residency. On-premise and government data centre options available. Full client data ownership — Meridian Africa operates strictly as a processor, never a data owner. Aligned with NDPC, ISO 27001-ready, and built to satisfy the security and sovereignty mandates of central banks, ministries, and multilateral financiers.
Data Sources
Sentinel-2 (10m, 5-day), Landsat (30m, 16-day), MODIS (250m, daily), Sentinel-1 SAR (cloud-penetrating)
Processing
Cloud-native, auto-scaling pipelines
ML Engine
Field boundary detection, NDVI classification, Fraud Network Graph (PageRank syndicate detection)
Outputs
NAICOM PDF packs, CBN Excel/BI reports, GeoJSON/Shapefile, REST API
Security
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, MFA, immutable logs
Data Sovereignty
AWS Nigeria-region; on-premise available; client retains full ownership
Integration
RESTful API, webhooks, IFMIS/NIRSAL, National ID, DHIS2, ODK, REDCap
Update Frequency
Crop health: every 5 days. Verification: on-demand. Alerts: real-time.
Designed for the Ecosystem, Not the Silo
Meridian Africa does not ask institutions to abandon their systems. We embed verification into the workflows already running Nigerian agricultural finance.
Disbursement Gateways
Native compatibility with IFMIS and NIRSAL ABP workflows — verification becomes a hard gate before capital leaves the treasury.
Identity Infrastructure
Direct cross-matching with National ID systems, BVN databases, and FMARD registries — turning fragmented records into a single source of truth.
Regulatory Reporting
Outputs pre-formatted for NAICOM and CBN prudential standards — so compliance is an output, not a project.
Field & Extension Networks
Bi-directional sync with DHIS2, ODK, and REDCap — satellite intelligence guides ground teams, and ground findings enrich the satellite record.
