Each region is a node in ISWI's decentralised civic network. Online users, verification nodes (Iswi-linc), and scheduled governance events including town halls, conferences, and in-person gatherings are tracked per region in real time.

ISWI is built by Iswi NPC, a 100% Black-owned technology company based in Cape Town. The platform focuses on transparent, geographically anchored civic participation.
