AI Governance & Policy Influence
Ensuring communities shape the rules governing AI.
Across Africa, AI policies, strategies, regulations, and governance frameworks are emerging rapidly. Yet many of these processes remain highly technical, inaccessible, and disconnected from the communities they will affect. This pillar focuses on ensuring communities understand, influence, and shape the rules governing AI before decisions become entrenched.

The People's AI Governance Scorecard
Evaluation & Accountability
The People's AI Governance Scorecard will rigorously assess national AI governance frameworks strictly through a community and human rights lens.
Rather than focusing solely on innovation metrics, the scorecard will evaluate frameworks based on their commitment to participation, transparency, accountability, deep inclusion, built-in safeguards, and true protection against algorithmic harm.
