The Pan-Africa Center for AI Ethics (PACFAIE) helps governments, schools, newsrooms, and companies adopt artificial intelligence responsibly, with accountability, transparency, and human rights at the centre. We are rooted in Africa and work with organisations across the continent and around the world.
PACFAIE is a pan-African, not-for-profit centre working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, ethics, and public policy. We design practical training, publish applied research, and advise on the policies, governance, and safeguards that align local realities with global standards. Rooted in Africa, we now work with governments, institutions, and companies both across the continent and around the world. Our work is serious but human: accessible, not academic, and built for the policymakers, researchers, educators, and institutions shaping the future of AI.
Our work spans training, applied research, and advisory, and today reaches across AI policy and strategy, governance and management systems, procurement and vendor assurance, privacy and data protection, and the responsible use of data to build AI.
Live sessions, recordings, and mentorship on the ethics and governance of AI, with verifiable certificates learners can share.
Publications and open standards on AI governance, power, and accountability, drawing on case studies from across the continent.
Policy, governance, and assurance advisory, from AI strategy and management systems to procurement, privacy, and data protection, with tools your team can put to work immediately.
We believe African institutions should lead, not follow, in global AI governance. Our courses and research centre on accountability, transparency, and human rights, and our goal is simple: make AI work for people, communities, and public institutions. We bring that perspective to organisations across Africa and around the world.
