 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.
