About Inganta Afiya

We replace extraction with sovereignty by creating a verifiable record of community-held land, knowledge, and consent.

The problem we are solving

Community-held ethnobotanical knowledge and land have too often been documented, patented, and commercialised without meaningful consent or participation by the people who created and protected them.

Inganta Afiya creates a formal, traceable path where stewardship is visible, decisions are recorded, and communities retain control.

Our eight-gate consent ladder

No single entity can sell out the collective wisdom of a community. Each gate is sequential, reviewable, and recorded.

Our core principles

Non-extractive

Communities retain ownership of local knowledge and land records.

Transparent

Every action is visible, traceable, and accountable to the review process.

Community-first

Local custodians remain central to decisions about access and benefit.
