Institutional-Grade Architecture
Built on proven enterprise infrastructure with government-ready security and compliance. Transparent, auditable approach using publicly available satellite data and cloud computing platforms.
Data Sources
Sentinel-2 (10m resolution, 5-day revisit), Landsat (30m, 16-day), MODIS (250m, daily) for meteorological data. Comprehensive monitoring.
Processing Platform
Cloud-based planetary-scale computing infrastructure. Proven scalability to millions of farms. Automated processing pipelines.
Machine Learning
Field boundary detection, NDVI-based crop health classification, and the Meridian Africa Fraud Network Graph — a syndicate detection model using connected component analysis and PageRank to surface ghost beneficiary rings across BVN, phone, and GPS data.
Output Formats
NAICOM-compliant claims evidence packs (PDF, SHA-256 signed), CBN portfolio reports (Excel, Power BI), Verification Certificates with audit reference numbers, geospatial files (GeoJSON, Shapefile) for GIS integration, and RESTful API access for direct system integration.
Data Security
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Role-based access control. Multi-factor authentication. Immutable audit logs. Daily backups.
Data Sovereignty
Deployed on Microsoft Azure with Nigeria-region data residency where available, West Europe as fallback. On-premise or government data centre deployment available for clients with sovereignty mandates. Full data ownership retained by the client institution in all cases — Meridian Africa operates as a processor, never a data owner.
Integration
RESTful API with OAuth 2.0. Webhook notifications. Compatible with IFMIS, National ID systems, GIS platforms. Technical documentation provided.
Update Frequency
Crop health: Every 5 days. Verification: On-demand or scheduled. Alerts: Real-time. Reports: Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals.
Seamless Integration with Existing Systems
RESTful API enables integration with government financial, identity, and GIS systems
IFMIS Integration
Compatible with NIRSAL's ABP disbursement workflow and CBN intervention fund payment systems. Verify beneficiary before payment disbursement
National ID Systems
Cross-check identity, prevent duplicates
GIS Platforms
Import/export shapefiles, land registry
NAICOM Claims Systems
Generates evidence packs formatted for NAICOM's agricultural insurance claims reporting requirements under NIIRA 2025
Extension Services
Push crop health alerts to field agents
M&E Platforms
DHIS2, ODK, REDCap integration, e-Farmer Registry (FMARD), AFEX commodity exchange data, and state ADP beneficiary databases
Cloud Storage
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud compatibility
BI Tools
Tableau, Looker and Power BI Embedded dashboards for NIRSAL portfolio reporting and CBN-format prudential reports
