I am encouraged that it is as many as 27000, How was this number calculated? Cheers, Peter (one of the 27000)

More than 1 billion people live on the continent of Africa but just about 27 thousand Africans contribute to the African story on Wikipedia. 

 

Are you ready to help put back the African narrative in the hands of its people?

 

The partnership & community programs team at the WMF is forming a partnership with the African Union to encourage content creation from the continent. The project seeks to empower Wikimedia communities on the continent by creating access to the network and the resources of the AU.

 

You can read more about the project in our recently published diff post.[1] Please do not hesitate to contact us via campaigns@wikimedia.org if you have further questions or join us at the AKI office hour on 4 May 2022 to meet partner institutions, engage and contribute to making this storytelling project a success!
