About the campaign

Open Foundation West Africa is proud to be an implementing partner for this year's Africa Day Campaign, which is part of the African Knowledge Initiative (AKI). This AKI initiative was born out of a partnership between Wikimedia Foundation, Africa Union, and Africa No Filter with a goal to increase the coverage of African topics on Wikimedia projects.

Join us as we come together to celebrate Africa's rich cultural heritage and promote the African continent's diverse knowledge base. Let's make this campaign a success, and together we can showcase Africa to the world!
