Africa Training Initiative
Building the capacity required to operate research and education digital infrastructure across Africa — structured training for engineers, system administrators, and cybersecurity professionals.
About ATI
The Africa Training Initiative (ATI) is a technical capacity development programme designed to build and strengthen the expertise required to operate research and education digital infrastructure across Africa.
As universities and research institutions increasingly rely on digital platforms for research collaboration, digital learning, and open science, the need for skilled engineers to deploy and operate complex infrastructure continues to grow. ATI addresses this need by providing structured capacity-building programmes for IT engineers, system administrators, cybersecurity professionals, and infrastructure operators across the research and education community in Africa.
