Data Science Africa (DSA) is proud to support the advancement of artificial intelligence research at Busitema University, Uganda. Through our collaboration with the Busitema Artificial Intelligence & Interdisciplinary Research Group (BUAIIR), we are fostering innovative AI-driven solutions in agriculture, climate change, health, and surveillance systems.
With ongoing TWAS-UNESCO funding of USD 66,000, BUAIIR has made significant strides in equipping its research lab, which hosts both undergraduate and postgraduate students. However, recognizing the need for specialized expertise, DSA has contributed USD 10,000 to support research assistants in systems development and aerial and satellite analysis. This investment will drive impactful AI solutions for rural communities, reinforcing our commitment to advancing data science for social good across Africa.
