Jenni AI Helps UNESCO’s OWSD Boost Research Productivity
Introduction
The Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) Enugu State Chapter, a programme unit of UNESCO, is empowering female researchers in Nigeria to break barriers in research productivity. With the adoption of Jenni AI, OWSD Enugu members are accelerating manuscript drafting, reducing time spent reading academic papers, and streamlining the publication process.
The Challenge
Researchers in Nigeria, like many across the Global South, face systemic challenges:
Limited access to research tools and funding
Heavy teaching and administrative responsibilities
Lengthy publication timelines
For the OWSD Enugu State Chapter, the question was: how can researchers produce high quality, publishable work more efficiently while balancing multiple responsibilities?
The Solution: Jenni AI
Jenni AI provides an AI powered research and writing workspace designed for academics. By leveraging Jenni’s:
Agentic Chat to summarize and contextualize papers
AI Text Editor to paraphrase, revise, and receive suggestions for text in any tone
Library to organize sources and cite across 2600+ styles
OWSD researchers now save hours each week and gain confidence in preparing manuscripts for international journals.
“Jenni AI is unique unlike Chat GPT which is predictable as an AI Assistant because of the repetition of some of keywords.
Jenni AI is the best AI Assistant for research purposes as it arranges the research work in line with global standards.” — Lecturer at Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu
Community Impact
The Enugu State Chapter includes researchers from leading Nigerian institutions such as:
University of Ibadan
University of Nigeria Nsukka
University of Benin
Abia State University Uturu
Ahmadu Bello University Zaria
Federal University of Technology Owerri
and more...
A recent study shows that researchers that use Jenni AI have reported a four times faster drafting speed of their manuscript and up to 64 percent reduction in reading time, enabling them to focus on higher level research questions and innovation.
Why This Matters
As a programme unit of UNESCO, OWSD’s mission is to support women in science from developing countries. By adopting Jenni AI, OWSD Enugu is:
Enhancing research output
Increasing publication success in peer reviewed journals
Providing equitable access to modern academic tools

Looking Forward
The OWSD Enugu State Chapter’s adoption of Jenni AI is part of a larger trend. Faculty and scholars from Stanford, Danish Cancer Institute, University of British Columbia, and more are using Jenni accelerate their research
For Enugu State, this initiative demonstrates how African institutions and chapters are at the forefront of embracing AI for academic excellence.
