- Submission no. 043
1. WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique is a writing contest that took place in primary schools in 4 African countries in 2017/2018 using WikiFundi. The project has been renewed in 2018/2019, with additional countries and more local training. We propose to present that project, its context, the operations, success factors. The presentation will come with slides, documentation, and a poster. The people involved are Anthere (project lead) as well as Afek from wikimedia Tunisia and Georges from Cameroun (and maybe others, depending on who is participating to WikiIndaba and involved in the project)

3. About WikiFundi
The WikiFundi server will be up and running for anyone who wants to try. I will come with an hard drive with wikifundi version on it (recent in French, older in English) so that if people want to copy the image from the hard drive... they will be able to. The full image is 65 GB (that includes Wikipedia offline etc.). A WikiFundi only is below 30 GB. Communication documents available.
