Mobile Web Ghana, alongside 40 global organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), GIZ,KfW, Smart Africa, and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), endorsed the Hamburg Declaration on Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), joining a diverse coalition of international development agencies, innovation hubs, civil society groups, and tech leaders committed to ethical and inclusive AI.
The declaration was officially launched during the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, held from June 2–3, 2025, in Hamburg, Germany. The conference brought together governments, civil society,
academia, and private sector leaders from across the world to align digital innovation, especially AI, with the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Florence Toffa, Director of Mobile Web Ghana, was present at the conference and participated alongside global leaders in shaping and endorsing the Declaration. Her presence highlighted Mobile Web Ghana’s active role in the international conversation around responsible AI, and its commitment to ensuring that African voices, especially those advocating for youth and women, are part of the global digital policy landscape.
The Hamburg Declaration serves as a multi-stakeholder commitment to advancing inclusive, responsible, and human-centered AI, particularly in emerging markets and among vulnerable populations.
It addresses key areas such as equitable data access, human rights protections, digital inclusion,
climate-conscious AI infrastructure, and cross-border collaboration.
Mobile Web Ghana is one of the few African innovation hubs listed as an official endorser of the
declaration, joining globally recognized institutions such as the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), UNICEF, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ),
Smart Africa, and many others.
The declaration outlines five key pillars , People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships and calls
on all stakeholders to work collectively to ensure AI advances the SDGs and leaves no one behind.
