The DSA Women’s Health (DSAWH) Fellowship 2025 Cohort has officially wrapped up, marking the end of a powerful nine-month journey. This year, 20 outstanding women researchers from across West and Central Africa pushed the boundaries of innovation in women’s health, applying data-driven approaches to some of the region’s most pressing challenges.

Data Science Africa (DSA) continues to advance applied AI research across the continent through its Visiting Fellowship Program, which provides researchers with opportunities to gain hands-on experience, strengthen industry-relevant skills, and contribute to projects that directly impact African communities. The program emphasises practical applications of AI, ensuring that research goes beyond theory to deliver tools that serve real community needs.

The Sunbird AI - DSAIL Visiting Fellowship is an innovative, one-year joint fellowship program designed to strengthen collaboration between Sunbird AI in Uganda and the Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAIL) at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology in Kenya. This initiative underscores the growing need for locally relevant AI-driven technologies tailored to Africa's unique challenges and opportunities.
