Strategic Aims for WikiAfrica Education

The 2020-2025 strategic focus of the WikiAfrica Education program is to inspire a new generation of African creative thinkers and doers by increasing production, access and awareness of contextually and linguistically relevant knowledge resources from African continent.

We have defined three strategic pillars to guide us and our strategic partners in achieving these objectives:

1. WRITE: Increasing production of online knowledge resources from Africa.
2. THINK: Build skills, engagement & critical consumption of Wikimedia.
3. INSPIRE: Showcase and inspire the WikiAfrica Education mindset

To meet the strategic intent of the project, this work needs to be based in Africa, working with local partners to realize the goals of the strategy. To this end, a regional approach has been selected for operationalising this strategy (i.e. Central, East, North, West, and Southern Africa regions). The regional approach may also lend shape and focus of the linguistic mandate of the WikiAFrica Education project.
