“We can also design and manufacture drones in Africa, as demonstrated by examples at this forum. This allows the technology to be tailored to our specific needs, and to help create new industries that generate employment and prosperity.”
Tariroyashe Marufu - World Bank African Drone Youth Scholar
“I’m happy to say that the ADF has opened our eyes to the cause of championing Africa’s development through the use of drones – a cause we are really honoured to be a part of. For us as young people, we have a big obligation to take back what we have learned...and let our communities know what a big impact drones can have.”
