Strengthening Policy and Research Bridges to Enhance Responsible Artificial intelligence Policy in Africa
About
Implemented by the African Union Development Agency (AUDA), this project strengthens AI governance by co-creating a model policy to help African governments harness AI for development. Grounded in African AI policy research and the African Union High-Level Panel on Emerging Technologies, the initiative fosters responsible AI adoption to tackle key socio-economic challenges.
The project bridges policy and innovation by supporting capacity-building and knowledge-sharing among policymakers, private sector actors, and academia. It enhances collaboration across Africa to align AI strategies with development priorities while ensuring inclusivity, equity, and sustainability.
Part of the AI4D program, this initiative advances responsible AI policymaking to improve lives and support sustainable development across the continent.
