Across Africa, the digital revolution is accelerating. Yet over 80 million people risk being left behind.
Join us on 2nd–4th June 2026 as the Inclusive Africa Conference returns to Nairobi and this year, the conversation moves from awareness to action.
From aspiration to accountability.
The theme is clear: "Accelerating Digital Accessibility and AI Solutions for Africa's Future."
Here is the reality we are confronting:
→ 1 in 6 people in Africa has a disability — over 80 million people.
→ Most AI platforms and digital services were not designed for them.
→ That changes at IAC 2026.
This year's conference brings together governments, technology companies, disability advocates, financial institutions, and innovators from 20+ countries, all with one mandate: build Africa's digital future for everyone.
📍 JW Marriott, Nairobi, Kenya
📅 2nd – 4th June 2026

78 years. That is how long it took for a wheelchair user to attend the Met Gala.
Aariana Rose Philip just made history and she said it perfectly:
"Fashion has never quite crossed the threshold with disability. And I think now is that time." We agree.
What Aariana did on that red carpet, Africa's disability community deserves in every digital space on this continent. That is exactly what we are building at the Inclusive Africa Conference 2026 — 2nd to 4th June, Nairobi.
Because inclusion is not just a fashion moment. It is a movement.

The future of Africa is digital. But is it accessible to everyone?
More than 80 million Africans live with disabilities. As AI and digital platforms reshape the continent, the question isn't just how fast we move, it's who we bring with us.
This year's Inclusive Africa Conference theme — Accelerating Digital Accessibility and AI Solutions for Africa's Future puts that question at the centre of the conversation. Join us in Nairobi, 2nd –4th June 2026, as we bring together innovators, policymakers, and disability advocates to shape a digital Africa that truly leaves no one behind.

Shakila Maharaj: Giving Africa's Blind Communities a Voice in Every Frame
The Challenge:
Across Africa, 43 million people are blind or visually impaired and most of them have never been able to watch a film, follow the news, or access digital content the way sighted people do. Audio Description (AD) — the narration of visual elements for blind audiences, is standard in Europe and North America. In Africa, it barely exists. For a blind child in Johannesburg, a student in Nairobi, or a professional in Lagos, the visual world has always been a locked room. Until now.
The Solution:
Shakila Maharaj is the Managing Director of ShazaCin Accessible Media (SAM) — Africa's first end-to-end audio description company. ShazaCin creates professional AD scripts for films, television, and digital content, and delivers them through its own mobile app, "ShazaCin" — putting accessible media directly in the hands of blind and visually impaired audiences. From content creation to delivery, ShazaCin owns the entire pipeline. Their clients span film makers, broadcasters, publishers, and digital content creators. Their team is a diverse mix of graduates across age, gender, ethnicity, and disability including a DeafBlind AD verifier who tests every script for real-world accessibility.
Meet the Innovator:
Shakila holds an M.A. in Organisational Psychology from Columbia University, New York and she built ShazaCin as a blind social entrepreneur. With 40 years of experience in the disability sector and over a decade in audio description, she is a globally recognised disability strategist and researcher who turned personal lived experience into continental impact. ShazaCin is not just a company, it is proof that the most powerful accessibility solutions are built by the people who need them most.

The work of building an inclusive digital Africa requires strong partnerships.
Our team, led by Program Director Charles Warria, met with the Council of Governors team, led by Director of Legal Services Irene Ogamba, to advance collaboration on digital accessibility across county governments.
Key focus areas:
✅ Assessment of county adoption and implementation of KSS 2952
✅ Inclusive Africa Conference 2026
✅ Strengthening digital democracy and inclusive public participation
Africa’s digital future must be accessible to all and partnerships like these are key to making it a reality.
