This blended training course is open for policymakers, regulators, civil society leaders, and professionals aiming to strengthen their skills in AI governance. The online part of the course includes two instructor-led online sessions covering key AI concepts, ethics, cybersecurity, and global legal frameworks. These sessions will be followed by quizzes and reading materials.
The face-to-face part of the training will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and focuses on practical learning. Through design thinking labs, simulations, journey mapping, and prototyping, teams will explore AI system lifecycles, identify governance gaps, test oversight tools, and co-develop national strategies. Scenario exercises will address sector-specific challenges, risk mapping, and cross-border regulatory negotiations.
By the end of the course, participants will have co-created a five-year AI governance roadmap tailored to their institutional or national context, based on global best practices and international frameworks.
With the generous support of the Global Gateway initiative of the European Union, participation in this training is provided free of charge for selected applicants. This includes accommodation, meals and other organized activities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Participants or their organizations will be responsible for covering their travel expenses to Addis Ababa and, if necessary, visa application costs.
