Our Work

Bringing Africa's Digital Ecosystem Together

From roundtables to continental conferences, we create spaces where governments, researchers, and innovators shape Africa's digital agenda together.

Continental Platform

Flagship Initiative

Africa AI Village

The Africa AI Village is a continental platform that convenes stakeholders across six pillars to coordinate and advance Africa's AI ecosystem.

It connects key actors to align priorities and turn collaboration into practical partnerships and AI solutions that work for Africa.

Sector Convening

Health AI Roundtables

We convene healthcare professionals, developers, policymakers, and regulators for joint dialogue on healthcare AI in Kenya.

These roundtables create a shared space for a sector that sits at the intersection of urgency and complexity — where the stakes of getting AI right are highest, and the opportunity to improve lives across the continent is greatest.

Capacity Building

Africa AI Literacy

We are driving AI literacy and building capacity through culturally relevant AI across various sectors — equipping communities across Africa with the knowledge and tools to use AI responsibly, inclusively, and effectively.

Our goal is to ensure Africa is not just a consumer but a shaper of technology — building an AI-driven workforce rooted in African contexts, languages, and lived realities.
