Building
Together

Every partnership is grounded in a shared conviction — that Africa's cultural and linguistic heritage must be preserved, and that AI must be built to serve it. These are the institutions and organisations who are walking that conviction with us.

Working With Us

Our partnerships are built on a simple principle — the communities and institutions whose heritage we work with are partners, not sources. Every collaboration is governed by a formal agreement that defines data sovereignty, community consent, and benefit sharing before any work begins.

Partnership
Pathways

AFRICORPUS actively seeks partnerships across four areas. If your institution or organisation works in any of these spaces, we would like to hear from you.

Academic & Research

Universities & Research Institutes

Co-develop datasets, validate methodology, and collaborate on published research in African linguistics, AI, and cultural heritage.

Funding & Grants

Foundations & Grant Bodies

Support specific projects or the organisation's operational infrastructure. We provide full impact reporting and open data outputs.

Cultural & Community

Museums, Communities & Custodians

Bring your collection or your community's heritage into the archive. All terms are community-led and governed by clear data sovereignty agreements.

Technology

Developers & Technology Organisations

Build on the AFRICORPUS API, contribute to open-source model development, or integrate African intelligence into your own products.
