AI Literacy for Humanitarians, Nairobi, Kenya, 10 Feb 2025

📅 Sphere organised an AI Literacy for Humanitarians workshop last week at the Microsoft office in Nairobi.

🎯 Our objectives: To discuss what it means to be AI literate in the humanitarian sector; to agree the key skills and knowledge this requires; to identify existing tools, materials and other resources; to discuss suitable learning approaches for different audiences; and to think about how to roll out AI literacy training in Kenya, East Africa, and beyond.

🙏 Sphere is grateful to our hosts at Microsoft, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse and Najeeb G. Abdulhamid, PhD; to our facilitators, Sarah Spencer and Andrew Nzimbi; and to our invitees who contributed their energy and expertise to this interactive day!

⏭️ What’s next? Based on our findings, Sphere and RedR UK will pilot some AI literacy training at HNPW. Find the session now at https://hnpw.org/ or look out for the flyer coming shortly.
