The Agence Francophone de l’Intelligence Artificielle (AFRIA) is a Geneva-based organization that supports the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence across French-speaking communities, particularly in Africa. It brings together partners to advance AI for sustainable development through projects, research and training, public awareness, and international cooperation. Its work includes exploring practical applications of AI in areas such as health, education, agriculture, and disaster management, alongside attention to governance and ethics.

AFRIA helps organize forums and summits that connect innovators, decision-makers, researchers, and technology professionals. These events encourage discussion of AI’s opportunities and challenges across Africa, the Indian Ocean region, and the wider Francophone world. The agency also participates in collaborative initiatives such as DEEP Farm, which promotes digital and sustainable agriculture, knowledge exchange, and skills transfer among educators and students in partner countries.

Through its projects, publications, communications, and partnerships, AFRIA contributes to building local capacity and fostering cooperation between regions.
