Africa & Middle East Regional Committee Application
editDear Adjoajo,
We hope this email finds you well. Thank you for applying to be part of the Africa & Middle East Regional Committee.
It was great learning about your work and volunteering experience with AfroCrowd and other Africa Diaspora communities including your Wikipedia edit study group initiative.
After a thorough review of your application, we unfortunately will not be inviting you to the next phase of the selection process for the committee.
However, later this year, we are planning to invite all Regional Committees to consider additional members for the committee based on areas of expertise or regional knowledge that may be missing or needed. We are striving to form a committee with gender, knowledge, and geographic distribution balance for the region.
In case the committee chooses to include your application in the second review, we will reach out to you.
Thank you for your continued contribution to Wikimedia's vision of a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
Best regards, Veronica.--VThamaini (WMF) (talk) 10:39, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Call For Volunteer Facilitators Across Africa
editDear Wikimedian,
The Africa Narrative is seeking volunteer facilitators in Egypt (two volunteers) and Senegal (two volunteers) for the AfroCreatives Wikiproject.
The AfroCreatives Wikiproject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African creative sector, as well as enthusiasts more broadly, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. Its inaugural effort will target the film sectors of Egypt, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal.
The Africa Narrative (TAN) is a non-profit that develops singular, high-impact initiatives in support of African creatives and the African cultural and creative industries with the aim to strengthen capacity in the continent’s creative economy and the global visibility of African cultural soft power.
All volunteers must have full professional proficiency in English. In Senegal, they must have native or full professional proficiency in French; in Egypt, they must have native or full professional proficiency in Arabic. Volunteer facilitators should have a vast knowledge about Wikimedia projects and experience with teaching new editors.
Interested participants may sign up on the project's Meta page. You may also indicate your country and email if your Wikipedia account is not associated with any email address.

Feel free to share with an Egyptian or Senegalese Wikipedian as well.
Thank you.
