About AfriCHI
AfriCHI’23 is organised by a pan-African team, in co-operation with the Association of Computer Machinery’s Special Interest Group for Computer Human Interaction, ACM SIGCHI. Our wish is to develop and sustain a unified body and local expertise for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (IxD) in Africa.
AfriCHI aims to widen the international participation of Africans in the practice and study of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design and to advance HCI by increasing awareness of designs, tools, inventions, methods, theories, and pedagogies for creating or using technology in Africa. Participants come from a range of backgrounds and include interaction designers, user experience (UX) practitioners, information architects, software engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts and social scientists.
AfriCHI’s mission is to be a Pan-African conference that brings together researchers, academics, practitioners, industry professionals and students who are African, are based in Africa or undertake or collaborate on HCI and Interaction Design projects about Africa. The conference showcases contributions on practical, technical, methodological, empirical, and theoretical aspects of all topics related to HCI and Interaction Design from as many African countries as possible.
