SUMMARY:What if AI could help farmers grow more with less?
DESCRIPTION:#D4DataGOV \nWhat if AI could help farmers grow more with less? \nWe are excited to host the first AI 4 Startups workshop on Responsible AI on October 8th. AI is already transforming agriculture\, but how do we make sure it benefits everyone\, not just a few? That’s the vision behind the AI 4 Startups program\, empowering innovators to create AI-driven solutions for real agricultural challenges. \n  \nIn this session\, participants will explore Responsible AI practices that make solutions fair\, transparent\, and trustworthy. You’ll learn practical ways to detect bias\, apply fairness metrics\, and design AI systems that farmers can actually use and rely on. \n  \nBe part of the AI 4 Startups program and help develop solutions that benefit farmers and the agricultural ecosystem. \n  \n👉 Register here to join the session: https://luma.com/282y1byf \n  \nThis event is part of Data Governance in Africa\, an initiative supported by \n@AfricanUnion\, @EU_Commission\, @BMZ_Bund\, @Ulkoministerio\, @MFAestonia\, @BelgiumMFA\, @francediplo_EN and implemented by @HAUSfi\, @ESTDEV\, @GIZAfricanUnion\, @Enabel_Belgium\, @expertisefrance\, #DigitalAfrica\, @D4DHub_EU \n#DataGovernanceAfrica #TeamEurope #GlobalGateway #D4DHub

SUMMARY:Designing for Users: Accessibility & Inclusion in AgriTech Solutions
DESCRIPTION:#D4DataGOV \n\nHow can AI solutions in agriculture be designed to include every farmer no matter their location\, language\, or access to technology?  \nJoin us for Workshop 2 of the AI 4 Startups Program\, where we explore human-centered design for AgriTech Solutions. You’ll learn how to make AI tools more accessible\, inclusive\, and usable in low-connectivity and resource-constrained contexts. \nTogether\, we’ll map user journeys\, prototype inclusive solutions\, and ensure that women\, youth\, marginalized groups\, and persons with disabilities are part of the innovation process. We’ll also discuss how open and secure data sharing supports more inclusive\, community-driven innovations across the agricultural ecosystem. \nThis session helps you prepare for the AI 4 Startups Hackathon (Oct 29–31)\, by grounding your ideas in real-world needs and ensuring your hackathon prototypes work for all farmers\, not just a few. \nThis event is part of Data Governance in Africa\, an Initiative supported by @AfricanUnion\, @EU_Commission\, @BMZ_Bund\, @Ulkoministerio\, @MFAestonia\, @BelgiumMFA\, @francediplo_EN and implemented by @HAUSfi\, @ESTDEV\, @GIZAfricanUnion\, @Enabel_Belgium\, @expertisefrance\, #DigitalAfrica\, @D4DHub_EU

SUMMARY:Data & Remote Sensing Techniques for Agricultural Decision Making and Climate Risk Modelling
DESCRIPTION:#D4DataGOV \nHow can data and satellite insights help farmers make smarter\, more resilient decisions?  \nJoin us for Workshop 3 of the AI 4 Startups Program\, where we explore how data and remote sensing technologies can turn agricultural challenges into opportunities. \nParticipants will learn how to interpret geospatial datasets\, model climate risks\, and apply AI-driven insights to improve crop management\, market forecasting\, and sustainability. You’ll also discover how responsible data sharing enables collaboration between farmers\, innovators\, and policymakers to strengthen decision-making and resilience in agriculture. \nThis session prepares you for the AI 4 Startups Hackathon (Oct 29–31)\, equipping you with the technical skills and data literacy to prototype scalable\, data-driven solutions for smallholder farmers. \nThis event is part of Data Governance in Africa\, an Initiative supported by @AfricanUnion\, @EU_Commission\, @BMZ_Bund\, @Ulkoministerio\, @MFAestonia\, @BelgiumMFA\, @francediplo_EN and implemented by @HAUSfi\, @ESTDEV\, @GIZAfricanUnion\, @Enabel_Belgium\, @expertisefrance\, #DigitalAfrica\, @D4DHub_EU

SUMMARY:Unlocking Smarter Finance for Smallholder Farmers in Kenya
DESCRIPTION:About the Roundtable \nSmallholder farmers power Kenya’s agricultural economy\, yet most remain underserved by formal finance. Traditional credit systems often overlook their realities resulting in limited lending and underinvestment. \nNow\, AI and data-driven innovations are opening new pathways for inclusion. From satellite-based crop monitoring to predictive lending models\, technology is transforming how smallholder finance can work\, smarter\, fairer\, and more sustainably. \nThis high-level roundtable will bring together leaders in finance\, agri-tech\, and development to explore how data and innovation can unlock smarter finance for Kenya’s smallholder farmers. \nWhat to Expect: \nAn engaging half-day of dialogue\, insights\, and collaboration featuring: \nPanel 1: AI in Action – De-Risking Smallholder Lending\nWith experts from Dalberg Data Insights\, Mercy Corps AgriFin\, and Briter Bridges. \nPanel 2: Capital & Venture Perspectives – Funding the Future of Agri-Finance\nFeaturing AGRA\, Beyond Capital Ventures\, and Acumen. \nKey Takeaway: \n✅ Fresh insights on integrating AI into agricultural finance\n✅ Practical recommendations for lenders\, investors & policymakers\n✅ New collaborations linking financial and agri-tech innovators \nHosted By: \nImpact Hub Nairobi — connecting innovators\, entrepreneurs\, and organizations to design inclusive\, sustainable solutions for people & planet. \nAg-Forum Africa — fostering dialogue and investment across Africa’s agricultural ecosystems.
