Priority Africa
UNESCO's global priorities are Africa and Gender Equality. As such, UNESCO and development partners are attentive to 54 African countries with a stronger and better-targeted strategy. The African Renaissance is underway, with the adoption of the African Union Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development paving the ground for the African Economic Community. To this end, regional communities are consolidating ties.
UNESCO-Eastern Africa sub-Regional Forum on Artificial Intelligence (EARFAI)
UNESCO and the Government of Kenya are jointly organizing the Eastern Africa sub-Regional Forum on Artificial Intelligence (EARFAI) from 24 to 26 June 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya.
The Forum will be held under the theme ‘‘Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for sustainable development in Eastern Africa: Governance, Ethics, Capacities, and Partnerships’’.
The Forum will contribute to strengthening UNESCO’s close engagement with African Member States by building their capacities to harness innovation and digital transformation, including through the implementation of the Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030 and the aspirations of the African Union's Agenda 2063 ‘‘The Africa We Want’’.
