Hi Nkem,
I see your project grant on meta. It's good. You have to change the status
from draft to proposed already as the deadline is today.
Best,

Hi,
I am Nkem Osuigwe. I work with AfLIA (African Library and Information
Associations and Institutions). We recently signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with The Wikimedia Library for training and to get more
Librarians understand the value and importance of Wikipedia as a resource
for information dissemination and research in Africa. One of the terms of
agreement in the MoU is having a progressive course on Wikipedia standards
and processes for Librarians. We have been advised to write a grant
proposal for a Wikipedian in Residence who will help adapt the already
existing curriculum and materials to suit the African information
environment and library ecosystem. The curriculum and materials were
developed by OCLC for an American audience.
Felix Nartey introduced me to this group
I look forward to collaborations between African libraries and
Wikipedians all across the continent.
Also, I strongly believe that we will need support from this Community
to help AfLIA run the proposed training course as one of the success
indicators of the course will be the number of collaborations formed
between libraries and Wikipedians all over the continent.
You may read up about AfLIA -web.aflia.net
We have members(Institutional) in 33 countries in Africa and we hope to
leverage on it to increase the reach and use of Wikipedia.
I look forward to hearing from anyone here.
Thank you.
