Document access infrastructure — for individuals, businesses, and institutions Access, store, and retrieve documents anywhere through our platform and physical service centers
To access education, jobs, funding, AI opportunities, and other essential services, people need documents such as certificates, transcripts, IDs, contracts, and records. However, according to the World Bank ID4D (2021), around 494 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lack official proof of legal identity, while millions more are unable to access opportunities because they cannot obtain, retrieve, or verify the documents they need.
Most of these documents are not held by individuals but by schools, universities, businesses, and government institutions as data. Yet across Africa, this data is often paper-based, poorly protected, poorly stored, damaged, or lost. In conflict-affected regions such as eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the destruction of archives has made many documents inaccessible, while data-management and digitization gaps continue to affect institutions and individuals across Ghana, including communities such as Lapaz, Accra. When data is not properly protected and stored, documents cannot be easily retrieved, issued, reissued, scanned, digitized, or printed when needed.
As a result, millions of displaced people, host communities, students, entrepreneurs, and professionals struggle to access and use important documents when opportunities arise. The absence of a reliable document access infrastructure—one that protects and stores data at the institutional level while enabling easy retrieval, digitization, scanning, printing, and access at the individual level—continues to limit access to education, employment, funding, and innovation opportunities.
We have created Tshijuka RDP, a Document Access Infrastructure Company that enables individuals to access documents they do not possess and enables institutions to protect or store the records and data that make those documents accessible.
For individuals, Tshijuka provides a digital platform and network of physical document service centers that enable users to request, retrieve, store, scan, digitize, print, and access documents regardless of location. This helps students, professionals, entrepreneurs, displaced people, and host communities obtain the documents they need for education, jobs, funding, AI opportunities, and other essential services.
For institutions and businesses, Tshijuka strengthens document access by protecting or storing the records behind the documents. Organizations can either use Tshijuka's infrastructure to digitize, protect or store, and manage their records, or maintain their own systems while connecting them to the Tshijuka platform so authorized users can access documents more easily. By protecting or storing data at the source, institutions ensure that documents remain available for verification, retrieval, issuance, and reissuance when needed.
Our physical service centers, beginning with Lapaz, Accra, complement the platform through scanning, digitization, printing, verification, and document support services. Together, this creates an end-to-end document access infrastructure that makes documents easier to access today and ensures they remain accessible tomorrow.
