For governments · KISEL
KISEL is the digital licensing, inspection and self-evaluation system built for Ghana’s National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA). Kurasa Africa builds it; ESDEV Foundation Africa delivers it in Ghana. The MoU was signed in October 2025.
A government platform — by conversation, not a public signup.

How it is delivered
The April 2026 implementation plan sequences three iterations so NaSIA can go live with a working licensing system before the wider inspectorate stack is finished. Iteration 1 is forms, payments and certificates. Iteration 2 adds inspections. Iteration 3 adds school self-evaluation (SSE), national reporting and a partner API.
That plan set prototype work for the end of May 2026, hosting for mid-June, and Iteration 1 go-live for the end of June. We will update this page as each iteration ships.
Three iterations
Iteration 1
The full proprietor path from Letter of Introduction to a provisional certificate — with fee payment and USSD status from day one. April 2026 plan: public go-live 16–20 June.
Iteration 2
Verification and compliance inspection forms, officer dashboards, scheduling, scoring thresholds and the full licence. April 2026 plan: July–September.
Iteration 3
School self-evaluation (SSE), a national command view, Teaching, Learning & Assessment Platform (TLAP) evidence from Workspace, and a partner API. April 2026 plan: from October.
Iteration 1
A forms-first release: every licensing form digital, validated, role-appropriate, and connected to NaSIA’s review. Schools cannot submit without paying. Officers can issue letters and certificates from the same file.
Letter of Introduction, Application for Authorisation (with a business-registration check via Ghana’s Registrar General’s Department, RGD), Expression of Interest, and Notice of Intent — each unlocked by the previous step.
An Approval Letter, a Temporary Licence and a Provisional Licence — generated as branded PDFs from the application record, not retyped.
LoI, AfA, EoI and NoI each require a fee. Channels include mobile money and GhIPSS. If the gateway is not ready at soft launch, Standards & Licensing (S&L) can confirm payment by hand.
NaSIA’s existing shortcode is in scope from Iteration 1 for status checks and push notices. Workflow events also alert proprietors and Standards & Licensing by SMS and email.
Two desks: a proprietor dashboard (status, documents, certificate download) and an S&L dashboard (queue, review, decision, certificate). Roles in Iteration 1: Proprietor, S&L officer, system administrator.
Held back on purpose
Inspection scheduling, Inspection Services Department (ISD) tools, school self-evaluation (SSE), Support Inspector, a national analytics dashboard and Kurasa’s Teaching, Learning & Assessment Platform (TLAP) all wait until a school already has a licence file. After Iteration 1 go-live, the first window is for fixes and edge cases — not new features.
Verification Inspection Form and Compliance Inspection Form, auto-filled reports, Full Licence, recommendation letters, ISD dashboards, a six-month temporary-licence window tracker, and inspection-date reminders on USSD.
Termly school self-evaluation, Support Inspector review, SMART objectives, development categories, a national command view, and TLAP so SSE evidence can come from daily Workspace use — then a partner API for curriculum, assessment and NGO programmes.
Who it is for
Proprietors apply. Standards & Licensing reviews. Inspectors visit once the file exists. Kurasa builds the software; ESDEV hosts the Ghana delivery. This is not a self-serve product page for a school in another country.
