These are Africa Wiki Women Fellows, selected for the Leadership and Mentorship Fellowship Program 2026 (Cohort 3)

The Africa Wiki Women Leadership and Mentorship Programme (Cohort 3), taking place from January to June 2026, is set to continue its journey of nurturing and empowering women leaders across Africa’s Wikimedia and open knowledge communities. This year’s programme has drawn impressive interest from across the continent, a testament to the initiative's growing impact and reach. Following a careful selection process, a new group of talented fellows has been chosen to embark on this exciting journey, one filled with mentorship, learning, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the world of open knowledge. This year, we received 188 applications.
