The Afripedia project has the dual objective of increasing the off-line dissemination of Wikipedia across central and western Africa and of training African Wikipedians to contributing — especially in universities. It is naturally developing in French and it interested the whole French-speaking group, who may support it.
The project is a partnership of Wikimédia France with the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (Association of Universities of the Francophonie – AUF) and the Institut français (IF). It will start in about 20 universities in 15 countries in West Africa.
Access to Wikipedia offline provided by Afripedia.
