with WikiAfrica we are trying to get contents and data on African cities, villages and territories on Wikipedia.
We would be really pleased if you can contact us if you have ideas, suggestions or links to existing databases (or to GLAMs we can contact to have access to data). please do not hesitate to forward the message to people who might be interested in the initiative.
Not GLAMs, but you could ask the OpenStreetMap community for assistance - a dump of their data on placenames and boundaries for instance - and they may have someone who has a specialist interest or access to further sources..
