Workforce infrastructure for skills-first economies.
PerAnkh builds the trust layer that makes demonstrated skill legible to employers, capital providers, and the broader economy — so workers become visible, businesses become verifiable, and opportunity can find them.
PerAnkh Limited is incorporated in Nigeria and incubated by Darrel Technologies Ltd (Ghana). Platform services are delivered regionally through Darrel Technologies Ltd where local engagement is required.

The problem
Across Africa, skills are abundant but not legible. Informal and vocational learning — the dominant form of real skills acquisition — remains largely invisible to employers, to capital providers, and to the broader economy.
The result is a persistent signal failure: workers who can’t be trusted because they can’t be verified, businesses that can’t access capital because their workforce value can’t be measured, and a missing middle that stays missing because the trust infrastructure to bridge it doesn’t exist.
Our approach
PerAnkh builds a compounding trust layer for demonstrated skill — not credentials, not course completions, but real work verified by real practitioners over time. The signal doesn’t reset. It compounds.
And as it compounds, it makes workers visible, businesses verifiable, and capital deployable where it currently cannot go. Learning becomes evidence → verification → economic mobility.
What we’ve built so far
A practical platform for skills evidence, validation, and visibility — designed for low-bandwidth environments.
Skills evidence feed
Learners document real projects (photos, short videos, write-ups) as proof of work — not generic course completion.
Expert verification
Domain experts validate high-quality submissions, turning them into trusted references and awarding credibility signals.
Badges & skill signals
Recognition that helps outsiders quickly understand quality, consistency, and readiness — a portfolio that compounds.
Institutional pathways
Partner institutions onboard cohorts, set themes, and create structured progression that aligns learning to outcomes.
Discovery & talent visibility
Make great learners and creators discoverable — for collaboration, mentorship, and eventual employer engagement.
Open infrastructure direction
We’re packaging our skills-evidence standardization work as open building blocks (OSEVS) to enable interoperable ecosystems.
For capital providers and development partners
The gap between skills investment and economic return is not a capacity problem — it is a legibility problem. Capital cannot flow where it cannot verify. PerAnkh changes that.
By building verifiable, longitudinal records of demonstrated competence, PerAnkh gives DFIs, impact investors, and development partners a new data layer: one that makes workforce quality measurable, makes training outcomes traceable, and makes the human capital that underlies SME growth visible for the first time. If you are deploying capital into skills, employment, or enterprise development across Africa and want to de-risk those investments with real evidence, we would welcome the conversation.
How PerAnkh works
Learners publish proof of work
Learners document projects, tasks, and practice — building a living portfolio of evidence over time.
Experts validate what’s credible
Experts curate and validate strong work, adding trust signals and turning the best insights into reusable references.
Institutions and employers get clearer signals
Institutions structure onboarding and progression. Employers later gain faster, more reliable ways to assess readiness.
Built with deep execution experience from Darrel Technologies Ltd, and now operating as PerAnkh Limited (Nigeria).
We launched publicly in 2025 and are progressing institutional partnership conversations to support structured onboarding and outcomes.
- Mobile-first, low-bandwidth friendly
- OTP-based access
- Secure & scalable (Next.js + Express + Expo)

FAQs
Is PerAnkh a course platform?
No. PerAnkh is focused on skills evidence and verification. Learning happens, but the core output is a credible portfolio of real work that becomes easier to trust.
Who is PerAnkh for right now?
Learners building practical skills, experts who can validate quality, and institutions that want structured onboarding and better outcome tracking.
How is quality handled?
PerAnkh uses layers: open posting → expert validation → structured institutional themes and pathways. That keeps it authentic but credible.
What changes for a learner over 6–12 months?
They move from isolated learning to a growing body of verifiable evidence, stronger feedback loops, recognition, and visibility that creates real opportunities.
Where does OSEVS fit?
OSEVS is our open approach to standardizing and exchanging skills evidence — so multiple institutions and platforms can interoperate without locking learners into a single silo.
Build trust in skills — at scale.
