AI is already shaping how we work, learn, and solve problems. At BudgIT, we are making sure civic actors have the skills to confidently use it in their everyday work and communities.
Last week, we hosted the AI Clinic for Civic Impact in Kano, bringing together civil society actors, journalists, researchers, students, and civic tech enthusiasts for two days of learning and hands-on practice.
Participants explored how AI can be applied in practical, everyday ways across different areas of work, including:
📌 Understanding AI in simple, practical terms
📌 Using AI tools for research, advocacy, storytelling, and communication
📌 Writing clear prompts to improve the quality of AI outputs
📌 Automating routine tasks to save time and improve efficiency
📌 Applying AI to monitoring, evaluation, and learning
📌 Using AI responsibly and ethically in civic work
Across the sessions, participants worked through real examples, tested ideas, and explored how these tools can support their roles across civil society, media, academia, and civic technology.
We’re excited to see how they take these skills forward and apply them to strengthen their work and deepen impact in their communities.
