What does “Data and Artificial Intelligence for Development” mean?

It means using the power of AI and data technologies to solve real societal challenges such as education, health, jobs, and governance while advancing Africa’s competitiveness in the global digital economy.

Our headquarters is in Lagos, Nigeria, but we offer our courses and training virtually. However, our programs, research, and collaborations extend across Africa and globally through strategic partnerships.
Unlike many training-only outfits, Rise Networks works at the intersection of research, training, policy, and advisory.
