Meta, in collaboration with Data Science Africa, has announced the Llama Impact Grant, a new initiative aimed at supporting startups and researchers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The grant is part of Meta’s global Llama Impact Grants program and seeks to fund innovative projects leveraging Llama, Meta’s open-source large language model, to develop solutions tailored to the region’s unique challenges.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds immense potential to drive productivity, creativity, and economic growth while advancing breakthroughs in fields like healthcare, agriculture, and scientific research.
To harness this potential, Meta is calling for proposals from individuals and organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa to develop AI-driven solutions using Llama.
