Hello all,
It's that time of the year again!!! After three successful editions of the
Africa Wiki Challenge, Open Foundation West Africa <https://ofwafrica.org/>
announces the 4th edition of the campaign.
In commemoration of the African Union Day which seeks to promote and defend
African common positions on issues of interest to the continent and its
people, the fourth edition of the Africa Wiki Challenge writing contest
seeks to bridge the content gap in Africa on the web. The proposed theme
for this year is "Educate Africa: Nurturing Minds for the 21st Century".
The theme is aligned with the African Union Day's theme
<https://au.int/en/directorates/education> “The Year of Education - Educate
an African Fit for the 21st Century.” Kindly confirm your agreement or
otherwise using this link:
