We have just released a new resource for organisations in the social economy in South Africa. Called - from fragmentation to intelligence it is a practical, African-context guide for funders, boards, NPOs, intermediaries, social enterprises, practitioners and policymakers navigating the opportunities, risks and institutional implications of artificial intelligence.

From Fragmentation to Intelligence examines what AI may make possible across Africa’s social and impact economies, what could go wrong, and what organisations must put in place before adoption moves beyond experimentation. This is not a guide to the latest tools — it is a guide to making better decisions about whether, where and how AI should be used.

This guide for practitioners is now available for download from our website.
