- - **Language & Speech:** ASR, TTS, translation, and language models for African languages; paired with datasets and evaluation suites.
31
  - **Geospatial & Environment:** Remote sensing pipelines, urban growth and electrification mapping, biodiversity acoustics, and environmental monitoring.
32
  - **Evidence informed Decision Support:** Tools that help public institutions analyze feedback, plan services, and monitor programs.

- ## Known Limitations
39
- Models and datasets may underperform outside their documented languages, regions, or domains. Biases may exist due to data coverage. Always validate for your setting before deployment in high-stakes contexts.
