🇿🇼 #Zimbabwe's new National Artificial Intelligence(#AI) Strategy gives #African states a practical template for adopting AI without deepening dependency.
Six pillars anchor it:

1⃣Talent & capacity development.
2⃣Infrastructure & computational sovereignty
3⃣AI adoption & service transformation
4⃣Governance, ethics & regulation
5⃣Research, development & innovation
6⃣Strategic international collaboration

It aligns with the AU Continental AI Strategy and treats data sovereignty as a precondition ,not an afterthought. The real test now is whether implementation matches ambition.

For over a decade, we've documented Africa's digital rights landscape through the annual State of Internet Freedom in Africa reports. From the first edition in 2014 investigating policies in East Africa, to the 2025 report on AI and digital democracy.

These reports have shaped policy conversations across the continent, and each one has been launched at FIFAfrica ,the Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa.
Access past reports here:https://t.co/UUUH0aB5Ry

Now it's your turn to shape the conversation.
⏰ The Call for Proposals for #FIFAfrica26 closes on 29 May.

Important reminder: victims are never responsible for the abuse they endure.
