[One Acre Fund Rwanda @oneacrefundRW]

With a rapidly growing population, farmers need to make the most of the agricultural land available to meet rising food needs. Sustainable farming practices such as Row Intercropping was proven to help farmers produce more from the same land while improving soil health and strengthening food security.

@oneacrefundRW, @RwandaAgriBoard & #CIRAD conducted an unprecedented study across 382 plots in #Rwanda, demonstrating the economic benefits of row intercropping compared with traditional sole cropping, and identified key barriers to smallholder adoption. Read more: https://t.co/uwQgFDeNTU

L’ONU, à travers l’Union internationale des télécommunications (UIT), vient de lancer une Commission mondiale sur l’intelligence artificielle pour le bien commun. Cette initiative vise à renforcer la confiance dans l’IA, à élargir son accès et à accélérer son impact positif sur les grands défis mondiaux tels que la santé, l’éducation, le climat et la réduction des inégalités. La commission a été officiellement présentée début juillet 2026 à Genève, lors du sommet AI for Good.

Le président rwandais @PaulKagame a été choisi comme coprésident de cette commission, aux côtés de Marc Benioff, PDG de Salesforce. Cette nomination illustre la volonté d’intégrer la voix du Sud global dans la gouvernance mondiale de l’IA. Le Rwanda, pionnier en Afrique avec une politique nationale sur l’IA adoptée en 2023 et l’organisation du premier sommet africain sur l’IA en 2025, apparaît ainsi comme un acteur clé dans la réflexion internationale sur l’usage responsable des technologies émergentes.

La commission, qui tiendra sa première réunion officielle du 7 au 10 juillet 2026 à Genève, n’a pas de pouvoir contraignant mais émettra des recommandations et des engagements volontaires. Elle se concentrera sur la sécurité de l’IA, la réduction de la fracture numérique (près de 2,2 milliards de personnes restent hors ligne) et la coopération internationale. Le rôle de Kagame souligne l’importance croissante de l’Afrique dans les débats sur l’avenir de l’intelligence artificielle et son potentiel à transformer les sociétés.
