A great discussion o a panel at the Big Tech Accountability Summit 2026.
The priority should be strengthening the institutions that enforce the laws on AI and emerging Tech.

Planning a continental data festival takes serious coordination!

Now, doing it in a country you’ve never worked in before? That takes things to a whole different level.

We sat down with this years' #DataTamashaAfrica26 Chair Doreen Kushemererwa for a sneak peek and a behind the scenes of planning. @dLabTz

2 days of engaging discussions at the Uganda School of Internet Governance2026 on shaping an inclusive, trustworthy and sustainable digital future for Uganda.

AI is already being deployed across multiple sectors, making its responsible governance more important than ever.

I'm happy to be representing @Pollicy at the Africa Big Tech Accountability Summit 2026 in Kampala.
On this panel we will discuss: Who Shapes Africa's Digital Policy? Big Tech, Policy Entrepreneurship and the Future of Africa's Tech Regulation. See you all 30th July 2026.

[Bonaventure Saturday🇺🇬 @BonaventureSK]

My presentation, is now featured at AI in The New Era – July 2026.
Drawing on research from Uganda, Kenya & South Africa at @PollicyOrg,
the big Question is;

Can we build trustworthy AI without first building trustworthy Digital Public Infrastructure?

🚨 Brand new research just dropped: How deepfakes and AI-generated disinformation are targeting women in politics across Africa.

We spent the 2025 and 2026 election cycles looking closely at Uganda, Cameroon, Tanzania, and Côte d'Ivoire, tracking how this shows up on the ground & what needs to change to stop it.

Huge thanks to our partners who made this possible and walked with us every step of the way @wougnet @PROTEGEQV @LEADAFRICAINES @ZainaFoundation

"We have learned so many things, including how to access our emails. I found out I had been receiving so many emails, and I had no idea, because I did not know how to access my email." — Aisha Lukwago.

Through our Her Voice Leads project with @VukaHerAfrica we're helping women Local Council leaders build the digital skills and confidence they need to lead safely online.

Africa's #data systems are expanding fast.

But if women aren't shaping them, we're just reproducing old inequalities in new digital forms.

Well done team

[Pollicy @PollicyOrg]

16 women leaders in Kasangati showed up, learned, and led.

Last week, we partnered with @VukaHerAfrica to run a #digitalliteracy and safety training in Luganda because most online spaces are built in English, and that shouldn't be a barrier to women's participation.
