  • •Gabon is developing its first national AI strategy with UNDP support.
  • •Consultations involve multiple stakeholders and assess the national AI ecosystem.
  • •This initiative aligns with a growing trend of national AI frameworks across Africa.

On September 28, 2026, Gabon began consultations to develop its first national artificial intelligence (AI) strategy, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The initiative aims to assess Gabon's AI ecosystem, including skills, infrastructure, data availability, and governance needs. The consultations, running until September 30, involve various stakeholders, including government institutions, academia, and civil society. This effort aligns with a broader trend across Africa, where multiple countries are developing national AI frameworks to guide technology adoption and regulation. Gabon previously completed UNESCO's AI Readiness Assessment in 2024, which informed this new strategy. The discussions will help define Gabon's priorities for AI development and establish a roadmap for future policy frameworks.
