The project will leverage the existing EU-based LLM models MINERVA and BABELNET and adapt them to the African context through co-design with local communities, ensuring linguistic and cultural relevance. The use of these models and a risk classification algorithm will be tested through two key use cases: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in Ghana and livestock insurance in Kenya, targeting areas with the highest need for scalable, AI-driven soluti
