Hello All,
Following engagements with some communities that began in 2021, I am pleased to share with you some brief insights about an upcoming project we are working on with the African Union (AU) and the Africa No Filter (ANF).
--------------------------------------
Africans are born storytellers.
For the longest time, they have had strong traditions of sharing truths.
Over time, the African narrative has been snatched and shaped outside the borders of this continent.
The partnership forged between the WMF, African Union, and Africa No Filter seeks to work with communities in making sure the African narrative is back in the hands of its people.
Together with you, we want to re-shape the African narrative by exploring your expertise as Africans and Wikimedians to ensure coverage of the continent.
The partnership will include a Wikimedian in residence and resource persons from the continent to ensure its success. We encourage you to watch out for an upcoming diff post and a platform to chat further about these still shaping structures of the partnership.
We want to hear from you!
On behalf of the AKI team,
Ok i'm ready

Hello everyone,
Your feedback and response thus far, has been incredibly encouraging and makes us even more excited about working together on this project for Africans by Africans!
We’ve had some initial talks and ideas on how this project may unfold and evolve but we need the community to help us shape this project in the best way possible.
Your role in this new chapter of African storytelling is important.
Once the Wikimedian-in-Residence is appointed, the selected individual will lead the process of developing the final details of the project on meta, in consultation with you - our communities in Africa.
We want to share these initial insights of the project with all of you now through a Diff post (late next week) that will give more information and launch the call for applications for the Wikipedian-in-Residence role.
We are happy to answer any other specific questions you may have through this email thread and further connect virtually in conversation as we move forward - together!
Looking forward to engaging more - soon.
Warm regards,

Hello All,
By now, you may have already heard about the WMF Annual Planning Process conversations (APP) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2022-2023/draft and the upcoming engagements with communities and our CEO, Maryana Iskander. We are excited to hear from communities all over the world about their insights and ideas.
The information you have been waiting for on this storytelling partnership will be readily available on the 21st of April 2022 including details on the exciting WiR call for applications.
This means more time to focus on the APP engagements, which value your input and attention.
We are delighted to map out this incredible journey to this very important partnership with the AU in a timely manner while being cognisant of other activities that are competing for your time and space.
Looking forward to sharing more with you next Thursday.
Warm regards,

Hello All,
I just wanted to inform and create visibility on this thread about the expectations for further information on this project.
Yesterday we published a diff post https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/04/21/setting-our-sights-on-knowledge-equity-with-the-african-union/ to provide more information and I have just sent a new email to update you all on the African Mailing list.
If you can, join us on the 4th of May for an office hour https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/87653338679 to discuss this project further, or send an email to campaigns@wikimedia.org if you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions.
