Funding and benefits: Stipend: $500/month European Partnership for Democracy (EPD)EPD will act as the policy architect, driving digital rights reforms through AU/ECOWAS engagement and global platforms like the UN. It will connect Sahel youth leaders with AU-ECOSOCC to advance the African Charter on Democracy. EPD will integrate civic tech into regional governance frameworks through coalition-building and advocacy. Eligibility and filters: Are You Eligible? Applicants must demonstrate ties to African communities. Eligible candidates are invited to fill this form by 11th May 2026 to join a transformative cohort of innovators addressing the Sahel’s most pressing challenges through ethical AI.

Are you a technologist with experience using AI to solve real-world problems? The Digitalise Youth consortium, through Code for Africa (CfA), is offering six fellowships for technologists in Africa to work with Human Rights Defender (HRD) organisations and help them strengthen their impact through the responsible use of AI. Through this fellowship, technologists will support HRDs to strengthen existing AI-enabled initiatives and resources, or to design new tools and workflows where needed. Fellows should therefore have proven experience building practical AI tools, especially using generative AI tools, including large language models (LLMs), as well as a strong commitment to human rights and responsible AI practice. Activities will include co-designing AI tools with HRDs, supporting safe and context-sensitive deployment, and generating actionable insights to inform policy, advocacy, and public-interest interventions. Fellows may develop AI-enabled tools/interventions independently or in collaboration with other experts. These solutions may include multilingual research assistants, tools for analysing and summarising large volumes of text, systems for detecting or tracking harmful narratives, and workflow automation that strengthens civic engagement and public-interest response. Expected deliverables include research briefs, prototype AI tools, and practical plans for scaling AI-enabled interventions that strengthen HRDs’ work and help safeguard public discourse. Selected fellows will receive support from CfA’s TechLab, DataLab, and AI Sandbox, as well as mentorship from global AI experts, civil society organisations, and policymakers. The wider partnership includes climate resilience networks, public health organisations, and digital rights advocates, providing additional opportunities for prototyping, testing, and scaling solutions.
