Dear African Wikimedians,

I hope this email finds you well. 

I'm writing today with a friendly reminder about the ongoing discussion on the African Agenda.

We've received fantastic contributions from many of you already, and your diverse perspectives are enriching the discussion page tremendously. However, we'd love to hear from even more members of our vibrant community.

The African Agenda holds immense potential to shape the future of Wikimedia in Africa. It will guide our focus, priorities, and activities, ensuring that we effectively address the needs and aspirations of our continent. It's vital that everyone's voice is heard in this process.

Here are some ways you can still contribute:
Remember, no contribution is too small. Whether you have a concrete suggestion, a general observation, or even just a question, your input is valuable. We encourage you to share your thoughts freely and openly.

We understand that everyone has busy schedules, but taking even a few minutes to share your ideas can make a real difference. The final deadline for submitting feedback is 31 January 2024, so please don't hesitate to jump in before then.

Thank you for your continued dedication to the Wikimedia movement in Africa. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Warmly,

Dear Colleagues,

After several months of engaging and collecting inputs on the Africa Agenda Google documents, as per the 2023 working timeline, the updated draft has now been published on Meta. [English and French translations for now]

I’m inviting you all, on behalf of the team working on the Africa Agenda, to read through the document and share your final comments or thoughts on the discussion page between 18 - 26 January.

Please be informed that this is the final stage of input collection and general community review. Once this round of engagement concludes, the additional comments and updates will be reviewed, and a final version will be published by January 31st.

For additional information regarding the timelines and process of the Africa Agenda, kindly refer to the FAQ section on the Meta page.

Kind regards,
