OUR STORY

Why We Started AI for Peace Africa

AI for Peace Africa was founded by Naomi Kilungu, an expert in Armed Conflict and Peace Initiatives, after her research revealed a gap: although technology increasingly shapes conflict in Africa, its potential to advance peace remains underfunded and underexplored. The initiative promotes decolonial, inclusive, and African‑led AI solutions for conflict prevention, sustainable peace, and human security across Africa.
