Call for expressions of interest: Managing organization (hub) for responsible artificial intelligence in advancing gender equality and inclusion in Africa

The goal of this call is to recruit a managing organization (hub) that will lead an African-based research network on responsible AI innovations to advance gender equality and inclusion. The selected hub will engage in field-building activities to design, develop and manage an innovation research network of researchers and innovators, applying responsible AI to advance gender equality and inclusion -- from remedying biased algorithms to promoting new innovations that aim to advance justice and access to government and financial services, address climate change, improve health outcomes, and reduce gender-based violence, among other issues. The selected organization will be responsible for supporting the competitive selection of high-quality research projects from African innovators and researchers at the intersection of AI, agriculture and sustainable food systems. In addition, the hub will provide conceptual and technical support and guidance to the members of the research network.
