Our Initiatives

Capacity building initiatives empowering Africa's AI Safety ecosystem

AI Safety Action Weeks

Summit → Dialogue → Action

July 26-28

Our July edition becomes a summit-style Action Week focused on AI and Youth Futures, with an opening keynote, fireside chat, and more speaker conversations. The archive still holds the earlier monthly Action Weeks, but this cycle now points to a dedicated summit page for registration.

AI Safety Essentials Fellowship (AISEF)

Clarity → Pathways → Contribution

Accepting Applications

The AI Safety discourse often feels distant from African communities. This fellowship serves as a vital starting point for Africans to gain clarity, explore diverse AI Safety subfields, and identify concrete pathways to contribute to shaping safe and beneficial AI for the continent and the world.

Campus Organizing Circles

Grassroots → Impact → Career Capital

Open for Organizers

Encode Africa has built its reputation through grassroots workshops across Africa. To ensure organizers have the most impact, we're making organizing circles more impact-driven and specific to AI Safety dialogue while building career capital.

Join Our Capacity Building Initiatives

Whether you're looking to learn, partner with us, or contribute to the fellowship, we welcome you to be part of building Africa's AI Safety capacity.
