Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core objective of the AI and Democracy Forum 2026? +
AIDF 2026 is hosted by Yiaga Africa and international partners to establish proactive, binding governance frameworks and technical safeguards against algorithmic interference, deepfakes, micro-targeting, and synthetic media ahead of Nigeria's 2027 General Elections.
What is The Abuja Accord and how can organizations sign on? +
The Abuja Accord is a historic voluntary charter signed by the electoral management body (INEC), registered political parties, major tech platforms, media houses, and civil society organizations committing to transparent algorithmic standards, anti-disinformation pacts, and rapid response mechanisms. Draft submissions are open to accredited participants until October 1, 2026.
Who is eligible to apply for the AI for Elections Innovation Sandbox? +
Civic tech innovators, independent software developers, research labs, and startups building open-source or auditable AI tools for election monitoring, fact-checking in local languages, or data verification are eligible. Shortlisted teams pitch live on Day 2 for implementation grants up to $100,000.
Are masterclasses open to all accredited attendees? +
Yes. However, due to hands-on lab workstation limits (Track A: Media Forensics; Track B: PVT Data; Track C: Legal Standards), attendees must pre-select their preferred track during the online registration process.
How can international delegates obtain visa assistance? +
Once your registration is approved, our logistics team automatically issues an official Nigerian government-recognized letter of invitation and coordinates with the Nigeria Immigration Service for Visa on Arrival approval if required.
