What happens when Africa embraces AI, but over 80 million people with disabilities aren't in the data?

Is AI the greatest accessibility breakthrough of our time, or are we building the most advanced exclusion machine in history?

The answer depends on the choices we make right now. We're asking the hard questions at IAC 2026 and we're not leaving without answers.

Volunteering is not just giving time,it’s creating change, building communities, and making the world a better place, one small act at a time.#IVY 2026

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

The world feels more divided than ever. But division grows when we forget a simple truth: we are ONE HUMANITY.

Volunteering is where walls fall. One act of service turns strangers into neighbors.

2026 is the Year of Volunteers. Let’s show up, reach across & rebuild connection🤝

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

In 2025, to mark #16Days, @unwomenkenya & @UNVolunteers deployed 3⃣0⃣+ @AGCCIAfrica alumni as Community UN volunteers across 10 counties in🇰🇪.

As a child, Jonathan fell ill and was left with a disability. He was supported by volunteers to heal.

Today, he volunteers for @VnuMadagascar. His assignment was initially funded by Germany🇩🇪

'Together, we can make a difference,' he says.
