On November 21st and 22nd, 2024, Empower Youth in Technology (EYIT) participated in the “AI for CSOs: Localizing Artificial Intelligence for Grassroot Impact” conference, a transformative event held in South Western Uganda organized by Kampala Analytica. This gathering of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), technology enthusiasts, and community leaders underscored the vital role AI can play in driving sustainable development at the grassroots level. For EYIT, the conference highlighted the immense potential of AI to enhance the work we do, particularly in empowering youth and women entrepreneurs.
AI aligns perfectly with our mission of fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. By leveraging AI, EYIT will better support young people and women in building innovative startups and finding innovative solutions to local challenges.
