Over the last two days, #AFSIT hosted a workshop for the Africa Transition Index-ATI, harnessing expertise in tech and governance. The goal❓ To craft an index that helps better understand risks associated with political transitions while leveraging technology.

We moved from conceptual stages to practical outcomes to create a neutral, trustworthy and risk-informed index. Key discussions included integrating AI to understand evolving political shifts.

As we conclude this methodology workshop, #AFSIT is optimistic about the ATI. With continuous input from our dedicated experts & partners, these tools serve for robust, data-driven analysis proactively addressing the dynamics of political transitions in the continent.
