Priority actions for the IDRC’s Artificial Intelligence for Development in Africa (AI4D) partners to support & hold grantees accountable to gender-responsive AI research & innovation
Objective of this resource: To summarize priority actions for integrating gender equality and inclusion (GEI) considerations in the early stages of grantee selection and engagement. This checklist should be seen as the minimum ‘essentials‘ for gender-responsive AI research and innovation projects. We encourage you to review the curated resources included in this document, reach out to your Program Officer, Gender Support Lead, local GEI experts, and human rights activists from impacted communities in order to move beyond these minimum ‘essentials’ for more gender-transformative research and program impact.
