Insights dashboard
The Monday-morning starting point: what changed this week, by country, topic and impact.
AIA Insights platform
One hub for political economy and energy intelligence across SADC.
Tracked signals, curated analysis and the Weekly Political Economy Brief — assembled from primary, secondary and tertiary sources.
Political Economy
Fiscal, elections, governance and security signals, tracked continuously.
Energy
Generation capacity, load-shedding stages and fuel-price series by country.
Weekly Brief
A reviewed newsletter, drafted from the week's tagged sources.
What lives here
The modules, one workspace
Each module feeds the same dashboard and the same database. Start with the Weekly Political Economy Brief; the rest compound from there.
Political economy tracker
Curated analysis entries linked back to the source documents that justify them.
Energy data
Time-series for generation, load-shedding and fuel prices, chartable per country.
Weekly brief workflow
Draft assembly from scraped items, editorial review, approval and scheduled send.
Roles and access
Admin, Editor, Analyst and Viewer. Nothing publishes without a human in the loop.
Direct data access
One managed MySQL database, open to a normal SQL client for ad-hoc analysis.
The themes we track
From political economy to the energy transition
How the signal is weighed
Every source is tagged by tier
The Python scraper matches keyword lists against tagged SADC sources. A document's relevance score is keyword weight times tier weight, with a recency boost — it orders the editor's queue, it never auto-publishes.
01
Primary
Authoritative and first-hand. Government gazettes, central banks, statistics agencies, regulators, official statements.
Reserve banks · national treasuries · electoral commissions · SADC Secretariat
02
Secondary
Established reporting and analysis. Reputable national and regional outlets, think-tanks and international financial institutions.
Major national press · ISS · IMF and World Bank country notes
03
Tertiary
Aggregators, commentary and unverified feeds. Useful for signal, never sufficient on their own to carry a brief item.
News aggregators · opinion sites · wire re-publishers
Coverage
Built around SADC
Country tagging runs through every source, document, insight and energy series, so the dashboard and the brief can be sliced the same way.
