How we work
Sources, clarification, production, verification. Every file starts from the country's texts and figures, states its open points in writing and distinguishes what is settled from what remains to be decided.

NovaGov Africa SAS
Public service, simply.
NovaGov Africa SAS is a technology company serving African public administrations. We build and operate public service and revenue platforms, in partnership with the State, on a pay-per-use public-private partnership model.
Our conviction
Make every act recordable, payable and verifiable.
African states lack neither legal texts nor potential revenue. They lack recorded acts. Every untraced act is lost revenue for the Treasury and a poorly served citizen.
Our work is to bring the act into a flow: a procedure that carries its payment reference, a voucher that materialises the fee, a rent that carries its withholding. All without making life harder for the citizen or work harder for the officer, and without asking the State to invest before results are recorded.
We favour an institutional register, sourced figures and dated commitments. A NovaGov file should be readable by a tax director, a legal adviser and a funder without any of them having to take our word for it.
01
Our commitments
- No upfront investment for the State. We fund design, build and operations. Our remuneration is indexed to acts processed or revenue remitted.
- Public ownership of data. Registers, reference data and tax data belong to the State, hosted under conditions it sets, returnable at any time.
- Reversibility and skills transfer. Every component is documented, every officer trained, every agreement provides for exit. The State remains in control of the system.
- Separation of roles. NovaGov operates the platform; a licensed payment institution collects and ring-fences the funds; the State decides, controls and receives.

Working principles
What we do not do
We do not sell software licences to be installed and forgotten. We do not hold public funds. We do not operate a platform without a written agreement with the administration.
With whom
Licensed payment institutions for collection, local law firms for the contractual framework, and the administrations' own teams, from day one.
