During the #AI session, Ms. @naadomnkoa (@Penplusbytes) walked us through their โ€œConnecting Citizens to Parliamentโ€ project, which is an AI-powered tool listens to parliamentary debates, tags every ministerial promise by sector, and turns them into simple infographics, SMS alerts, and social posts. Citizens on the ground then track progress and send real-time feedback, closing the loop between Parliament and the people. ๐Ÿ“ECOSOCC Citizens' Forum | Malabo #EquatorialGuinea ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ถ #ECF2025 #CitizensForum2025 #NewSocialContract #YearOfReparations #CivicTech #Tech
