AI4SDG Initiative

Advancing Sustainable Development Goals through Ethical AI in Africa

AI4SDG initiative

The AI4SDG Initiative develops ethical and inclusive AI solutions designed for Africa’s unique challenges.

We ensure that marginalized communities, especially youth and persons with disabilities, are not only supported by AI, but actively involved in shaping AI-driven progress.

We are building:

  • AI for mental health and psychosocial support
  • AI for digital inclusion and skills development
  • AI for disability-inclusive recruitment and workplace accessibility 

about us

A pioneering initiative of the Next Step Foundation (NSF)

The Ai4SDG Initiative was founded on a simple but powerful belief that artificial intelligence should be a force for equitable progress in Africa. We create and deploy ethical, inclusive AI tools designed to tackle the continent’s most pressing challenges starting with youth mental wellbeing, digital skills, and disability-inclusive employment. Our work ensures that marginalized communities are not left behind but are active architects of their own future in the digital economy.
