Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Transformative Evaluation and Development: Applications in Infrastructure, Education, Data, and Drought Resilience

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly redefining the development landscape, service delivery, and evaluation. This panel shaes how AI technologies are being leveraged to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and responsiveness of public infrastructure, monitoring and evaluation education, data collection and analysis, and climate resilience efforts in Africa and particularly in the context of Kenya.
The panel will bring together diverse experiences and insights into how AI tools, ranging from machine learning algorithms, geospatial intelligence, to natural language processing are enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making in complex, resource-constrained settings. The discussion examines emerging trends, ethical considerations, and practical examples of integrating AI into evaluation and public service delivery systems.
