DARAJA+AI for Sudan uses generative AI to support the dissemination of extreme weather early warnings to communities. It addresses language and literacy barriers by producing timely, clear, and actionable audio messages tailored to specific geographic and demographic groups. The AI rapidly converts technical text-based forecasts into audio adapted to local languages and dialects, generating versions for each state and locality to reach low-literacy users. These outputs are optimized for delivery via social media, local radio, and IVR. The expected impact includes faster delivery of localized warnings in Sudanese Arabic and priority local languages, improved comprehension, especially among women and young people, and stronger community-led anticipatory action.
