About ACAIF
An African institution working on what technology means for people's lives.
ACAIF is an African public-interest think tank. We focus on the questions that sit between technology and everyday economic life: work, opportunity, stronger institutions, trust and who gets to benefit from progress.
What we do
We study the problem, bring together the people who can act and support practical responses.
ACAIF can research, convene, mobilise resources, connect partners, support programmes and report what changed. We do not need every answer to sit inside one organisation.
Convene
Bring together government, employers, universities, funders, technology organisations and affected communities.
Support
Help practical programmes, partnerships and pilots get moving.
Connect
Match public problems with people and institutions that can help solve them.
Report
Track results and publish what changed.
