A 12-week programme shaping responsible AI in Africa.
The AI Ethics & Governance Fellowship is a 12-week programme that equips African leaders with the skills, tools, and networks to design responsible and accountable AI systems.
Delivered by the Policy Innovation Centre (PIC) in partnership with the Africa Hub for Innovation & Development (AHFID), with support from Luminate, the fellowship brings together policy professionals, regulators, researchers, and civil society leaders.
Through a practical, hands-on approach, fellows develop real-world governance outputs — from policy frameworks to AI audit protocols — grounded in African contexts and ethical principles.
More than a programme, it is a growing Pan-African network shaping the future of responsible AI.
