The GRAIN Network
The G*RAIN brings together organizations, universities and hubs based in Africa sub-Saharan Africa who are either already active or interested in becoming active in the field of AI and/or gender inclusion. The goal is to learn, share, defend and to propose solutions to the cross-cutting issues of AI, gender equality and the development. We establish a link between the development of intelligence artificial intelligence and gender equality. Our field of action is sub-Saharan Africa, with a medium-term work focused on gender and inclusion, and in the longer term on equality and the kind.
