Sara Wahedi is the CEO of Civaam, an AI startup advancing innovation in crisis-affected regions, and the founder of Ehtesab, Afghanistan’s first civic-technology startup.

She provides counsel on the fundamental human right of 'access to information,' advocating for its protection and implementation globally.

Wahedi is currently based at Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government, where she focuses on technology’s role in governance and accountability, specifically on the use of AI in crisis regions for humanitarian services, urban monitoring, and technological interventions in law, governance and accountability.
