Wanjũhĩ Njoroge is a behavioral science and emerging technology policy practitioner working at the intersection of human behavior, artificial intelligence, and governance. Her work explores how behavioral insights can help shape ethical, inclusive, and human centered technology systems, particularly in Africa and other underserved regions.
She brings over a decade of experience across digital inclusion, governance reform, youth leadership, and public private collaboration in Africa and global policy spaces. Wanjũhĩ is the founder of Nelig Group Ltd, where she has supported governments, UN agencies, and development partners on programme design, partnerships, and strategic communications that translate complex policy agendas into practical implementation.
Within the ecosystem of the World Economic Forum, she has served as a Board Member of the Global Shapers Community Foundation and as Digital Inclusion Pillar Lead for the Davos Lab Post COVID Youth Recovery Plan, helping coordinate global youth dialogues across 146 cities that informed policy recommendations on digital access and inclusive recovery.
Her work with multilateral institutions includes co creating the UNDP Youth Sounding Board model in Kenya, a governance framework designed to institutionalize youth participation in development programming that was later adopted across UNDP and adapted by the European Union. She has also served on UN Women’s East and Southern Africa Regional Youth Steering Committee, contributing to regional consultations on youth engagement and gender equality.
Wanjũhĩ is currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration at Harvard Kennedy School and is cross registered at MIT Sloan School of Management, focusing on analytics, systems thinking, and emerging technology governance. She is also an AI Policy Fellow with the AISST.
Her current work focuses on the geopolitics of artificial intelligence, digital trust, and how emerging technologies are reshaping global governance. She is particularly interested in how Africa can actively shape the next generation of technological systems and global rules rather than simply adapt to them.
