The African Telecoms Union announced the Abuja Ministerial Declaration on July 24th, 2026 which sent a strong signal that African governments share a common vision for delivering meaningful connectivity to the continent.
The launch of GSMA-led ATLAS Umoja AI builds on this momentum, bringing together a broad coalition of partners to advance AI that reflects Africa's languages, cultures and priorities.
Connectivity, digital inclusion and AI are closely connected. Real progress depends on the partnerships and policy foundations that enable innovation to translate into economic and social impact. The GSMA remain committed to working with governments, policymakers and industry to drive this progress and ensure everyone, everywhere has the opportunity to participate in the digital future.
