Another project uses AI to help smallholder farmers in Ghana predict post-harvest shortages and gluts. Through a project with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, Vodafone Ghana and others, our scientists gathered anonymised mobile phone data from across Ghana’s districts. In Ghana, we welcomed the Indian government’s commitment to making data for development a priority at this year’s G20 meeting. Data is critical for Africa and the world to achieve the sustainable development goals. I know that investing in private- and public-sector workforces and building joined-up data systems will unlock the potential opportunities that AI offers.
