Michael Scheibenreif

Michael is the regional manager of UNICEF’s ‘African Drone and Data Academy’ (ADDA). In 2017, he opened and managed UNICEF’s ‘humanitarian drone testing corridor’ in Malawi as a testing ground for drone and data services benefiting children in the global south. He identified the strong need for the locally available 21st century skill of young people to deliver these services and founded ADDA in Malawi in 2020. Now he leads the scaling of ADDA beyond Malawi across the continent and beyond.
