Hello Wikimedians,

You are invited to the official launch of the fourth(4th) edition of the Africa Wiki Challenge https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Africa_Wiki_Challenge_2024. The annual competition seeks to project information about Africa on Wikipedia and its sister projects. Over the past three years, the campaign has been organized under different themes including, "*Landmarks in Africa, Projecting Africa Culture, and African Free Continental Trade."*

This year's theme "*Educate Africa: Nurturing Minds for the 21st Century" *is in line with the African Union(AU) Day's theme. The AU under the African Union’s Agenda 2063 https://au.int/en/agenda2063/overview seeks to create revitalized, high-quality, and unified educational systems that meet the needs of Africa, generate acceptable attitudes, values, knowledge, and skills, and support the continent's participation in the international economy of knowledge.

The objective of this year’s Africa Wiki Challenge https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Africa_Wiki_Challenge_2024 is to highlight and recognize the diverse educational perspectives in Africa, encouraging the sharing of information and expertise through engaging content contributions on Wikipedia.
