ILLIMI Niger trains 100 professionals in AI for crisis management

Government of Niger and United Nations System in Niger — One hundred (100) officials across Niger's public sector completed applied AI for crisis management coursework in Niamey during a two-week programme in June, organised jointly by the national government and the United Nations System with financial backing from the UN Trust Fund for Human Security. Representatives came from bodies including the High Authority for Peacebuilding, the Ministry of Interior and the National Institute of Statistics, gaining hands-on practice in artificial intelligence in emergency response through exercises in analysing datasets, compiling written reports and managing rapid-onset incidents. Branded ILLIMI Niger, the scheme sits within a broader push to build technical capacity inside government agencies.

Loi 2022-59 article 52 on automated decisions and AI

Parliament of Niger (Assemblée Nationale) — Niger's Loi n° 2022-59, Article 52, sets AI regulation Niger relies on for automated decisions: judicial rulings cannot rest on automated processing assessing personality traits, and administrative or private-sector decisions cannot rest solely on automated profiling. Where a system qualifies as artificial intelligence, its criteria and personal data used must be disclosed at collection. President Mohamed Bazoum promulgated the statute, alongside Burkina Faso's as Africa's only explicit AI clause in data-protection law.

Method and sources

Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4937 entries across 249 countries.
