AI Governance for Global Development Agencies is a six-week specialisation for the people who decide how artificial intelligence is used in aid, humanitarian response and development programming. It is built for the Nigerian and African operating reality: UN agencies, international NGOs and donor-funded programmes deploying AI in places with patchy connectivity, vulnerable populations and a watching regulator under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. The course treats governance as a practical discipline, not a values statement — what to put in writing, who must own it, and how to prove it to a donor, a board or the NDPC.
By the end you will be able to design a governance system for AI in a development context, run an impact assessment that respects both ISO/IEC 42001 and the NDPA, hold programmes accountable to the people they serve, and align AI decisions with the Sustainable Development Goals rather than against them.
For: Programme directors, MEAL and data leads, country-office managers, donor and partnership officers, digital-development advisers, and governance, risk and protection staff in UN agencies, INGOs, foundations and government counterparts.
