Hello All,
Following engagements with some communities that began in 2021, I am
pleased to share with you some brief insights about an upcoming project we
are working on with the African Union (AU) and the Africa No Filter (ANF).
--------------------------------------
Africans are born storytellers.
For the longest time, they have had strong traditions of sharing truths.
Over time, the African narrative has been snatched and shaped outside the
borders of this continent.
The partnership forged between the WMF, African Union, and Africa No Filter
seeks to work with communities in making sure the African narrative is back
in the hands of its people.
Together with you, we want to re-shape the African narrative by exploring
your expertise as Africans and Wikimedians to ensure coverage of the
continent.
The partnership will include a Wikimedian in residence and resource persons
from the continent to ensure its success. We encourage you to watch out for
an upcoming diff post and a platform to chat further about these still
shaping structures of the partnership.
We want to hear from you!
On behalf of the AKI team,
