Launch of the AiAfrica Project Labs

Africa is at a unique crossroads. Our continent is rich with talent, natural resources, and a youthful population. Yet, persistent challenges—ranging from food insecurity and limited access to quality healthcare, to underdeveloped infrastructure and digital divides—hold back our full potential. The answer lies not just in adopting new technologies, but in mastering and localizing them for African realities. AiAfrica Labs was established to do exactly that: to train, empower, and deploy Africa’s brightest minds in applied AI research and development across our key economic sectors. We are not just adopting AI—we are shaping it, owning it, and using it to solve Africa’s unique challenges and create massive opportunities. What makes AiAfrica different? We go beyond theory. Our approach is practical, sector-driven, and directly linked to Africa’s economic transformation.

We have set up 15 specialized labs—each dedicated to a high-impact sector, including:

• Agriculture & Agri-Business

• Education

• Waste Management and Sanitation

• Marketing, Logistics, Supply Chain & Entrepreneurship

• Human Resource Management & Public Relations

• Mining

• Oil & Gas

• Healthcare

• Legal & Judicial Services

• Accounting, Finance & Audit

• Fashion & Design

• ICT & Fintech

• Maritime & Ports

• Renewable Energy

• Engineering

• Research & Publication

Each lab is designed as a hub of innovation, research, and direct application. After receiving their foundational and advanced AI training, our graduates move directly into these labs. Here, they work on real-world projects, create proof-of-concept solutions, and help scale innovations across the continent.

New Publications on Ai in Education and Procurement

Train Africa’s teachers in AI – or risk an education crisis

In the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) is fast becoming the cornerstone of educational innovation worldwide, redefining curriculum design, assessment, and personalised learning. However, Africa stands at the precipice of an education crisis. Over 70% of children in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to basic digital learning tools, let alone exposure to AI-integrated instruction (UNESCO, 2023). Without urgent action to equip educators with AI competencies, the continent risks a dramatic widening of the global knowledge divide.

Coding is no longer enough: Why Africa needs AI literacy in every school

“Teaching children to code is like teaching them to read in an era when the world is already speaking in algorithms.”

Across Africa, education policymakers are proudly expanding coding programs in primary and secondary schools. From Lagos to Kigali, students are now learning how to write loops, build mobile apps, and understand the basics of computer programming. This progress deserves applause

Embedding Ethical AI in Public Procurement: Ghana’s path to trustworthy automation in E-governance

Smart Procurement: Using AI to combat fraud and boost efficiency in Ghana’s public spending

Ghana stands at a critical juncture in its digital transformation journey. As the nation advances its e-governance initiatives through platforms such as the Ghana Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) and digital procurement reforms led by the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), the integration of artificial intelligence presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant risks (Public Procurement Authority, 2023)

Ghana's public procurement system processes approximately GH₵40-60 billion annually, representing 50-70% of total government expenditure and serving as the primary mechanism through which public resources are converted into development outcomes for citizens (Public Procurement Authority, 2023). However, persistent challenges, including procurement fraud, inflated pricing, bid-rigging, and systemic inefficiencies, continue to undermine value for money and erode public trust in government financial management
