Only 17% of CSOs actively shape AI governance.
Global South voices are locked out of the rooms where AI policy gets made.
But civil society is building its own AI! From Nuha in Jordan, which detects hate speech in Arabic, to Ask Aunty, Raseef22's chatbot — civil society is proving AI can be built ethically, on their own terms.

NEW GRANT ALERT!
We’re excited to announce that Muryanmu V2.0 project has received grant support from @CIVICUSalliance
Running from October 2026 to June 2027, this next phase will build on Muryanmu’s work to make civic and electoral information more accessible, understandable, and actionable for citizens.
Through this new support, we’ll be refurbishing and strengthening the Muryanmu platform, improving features such as verified election information, polling-unit information, voter education, civic guidance, electoral safety insights, multilingual access, and MurBot. The goal is to make the platform more user-friendly, accessible, effective, and responsive to the needs of the communities it serves.
With a focus on Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina, Muryanmu V2.0 is about taking citizen engagement to the next level—strengthening the digital tools people can use to access reliable information, find their voice, and participate meaningfully in civic life.
We’re grateful to @CIVICUSalliance for supporting this next chapter of Muryanmu, and we can’t wait to get to work.
Muryanmu V2.0 — Your Voice. Your Power. Your Vote

We had the incredible students from Clara Victoria School at the Build-4-Today Female AI Hackathon, and the impact was undeniable.
Moments like this remind us that true inclusion in tech doesn’t start at the top it starts early.

These young girls were not just present; they were also engaged, curious, and inspired. We showed them what’s possible with AI, and they left with a renewed mindset, a broader vision, and the confidence to see themselves in spaces like this.

They also had the opportunity to connect with the panel moderator, @VaLOkafor3 capturing moments that reflected access, representation, and possibility because sometimes, all it takes is one moment of proximity to inspire a whole new direction.
