Mobile Web Ghana has joined 40 leading global organisations, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), GIZ, KfW, Smart Africa, and UNICEF, in endorsing the Hamburg Declaration on Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This endorsement reflects a growing global coalition of development agencies, innovation hubs, civil society groups, and tech leaders committed to ethical and inclusive AI.

The declaration was officially launched at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, held from June 2–3, 2025, in Hamburg, Germany.

The event brought together governments, civil society, academia, and private sector leaders from around the world to align digital innovation, particularly AI, with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Florence Toffa, Director of Mobile Web Ghana, participated in the conference and contributed to shaping and endorsing the declaration.

Her presence underscored the organisation’s active role in global AI discussions and its dedication to amplifying African voices—especially youth and women—in international digital policy.

The Hamburg Declaration is a multi-stakeholder commitment to promoting inclusive, responsible, and human-centred AI, particularly in emerging markets and among vulnerable populations.

It addresses key areas including equitable data access, human rights protections, digital inclusion, climate-conscious AI infrastructure, and cross-border collaboration.

Mobile Web Ghana is among a small group of African innovation hubs officially recognised as endorsers of the declaration, alongside globally renowned institutions such as UNDP, UNICEF, GIZ, and Smart Africa.

The declaration is structured around five foundational pillars: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships, and calls on stakeholders to work collectively to ensure that AI contributes meaningfully to the SDGs and leaves no one behind.
