Africa Environment WikiFocus Celebrates Wangari Maathai Day

“No matter how dark the cloud, there is always a thin, silver lining, and that is what we must look for. The silver lining will come, if not to us then to next generation or the generation after that. And maybe with that generation the lining will no longer be thin.” ― Wangari Maathai, Unbowed: A Memoir

Желілік серіктестер

Сапаны, зерттелген мазмұнды қамтамасыз ету және сарапшыларды тарту және Викимедиа желісін кеңейту үшін барлық деңгейдегі командалар (AKI жұмыс тобынан бастап жергілікті қауымдастық командаларына дейін) қолданыстағы африкалық климат және қоршаған ортаны қорғау ұйымдарымен және ҮЕҰ-мен, сондай-ақ академиялық және ғылыми-зерттеу институттарымен серіктестікке ұмтылады.

Principal partners

The Africa Environment WikiFocus is made up of multiple partners working at different levels to organise and activate the project. The Africa Environment WikiFocus Organisers (Wiki In Africa and Wikimedia Usergroup Côte d’Ivoire) conceptualised and activated the WikiFocus, after a successful application to the African Knowledge Initiative Working Group Members (African Union and WMF).

The WikiFocus has been activated by Wikimedia communities across Africa after successful applications were vetted and chosen. These micrograntees are the local organisers for the project. In addition, there are content partner who were approached by Wiki In Africa during the project period, and local partners who are detailed on each microgrant-funded project's Final Report.

Team members:

Africa Knowledge Initiative (AKI) Working Group

The Wikimedia Foundation collaborates with the African Union on the Africa Knowledge Initiative (AKI). This initiative is targeted at increasing coverage of African topics on the Wikimedia projects. It is intended as a high level framework for collaboration, with the details to be filled in by implementing partners and communities, which will provide opportunities for Wikimedians to access resources, to tap unique African Union publications and data sources, to recruit and train high-potential contributors, and to hone strategies for targeting topics for impact.

Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) is a non-profit organization registered in the USA, hosting websites known as the “Wikimedia projects”, such as Wikipedia and Wikinews, as well as this website, Meta-Wiki. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, USA. Official information about the Foundation may be found at the Foundation website.

African Union

The African Union (AU) is a continental union consisting of 55 member states located on the continent of Africa. The AU was announced in the Sirte Declaration in Sirte, Libya, on 9 September 1999, calling for the establishment of the African Union. The bloc was founded on 26 May 2001 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and launched on 9 July 2002 in Durban, South Africa.[1]

The intention of the AU was to replace the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), established on 25 May 1963 in Addis Ababa by 32 signatory governments; the OAU was disbanded on 9 July 2002. The most important decisions of the AU are made by the Assembly of the African Union, a semi-annual meeting of the heads of state and government of its member states.
