• DOCUMENTATIONS

The Africa Wiki Women Roundtable Community is a bi-annual session that brings together community contributors, organizers, and affiliates of the African Wiki Women (AWW) initiative for open dialogue and shared learning. It offers a safe, inclusive space to share experiences, evaluate AWW’s impact, and provide constructive feedback.

Since its launch, AWW has amplified African women’s voices on Wikimedia, closed gender and knowledge gaps, and empowered editors through capacity building, leadership roles, and targeted campaigns. This meetup also serves as a key checkpoint for co-creating recommendations that reflect on-the-ground realities and guide the initiative’s next steps.

Objectives of the Roundtable Meetup

The roundtable aims to:

• Evaluate the impact of community programs and activities implemented between January and June 2026, focusing on visibility, participation, skills development, and overall community growth, while setting strategic goals for the period of July to December 2026.
• Review the outcomes of African Wiki Women (AWW) programs across the continent, particularly their contributions to gender equity, leadership development, and the expansion of content about African women on Wikimedia platforms, while providing an opportunity to address community questions and concerns.
• Gather feedback and actionable recommendations to strengthen inclusivity, sustainability, partnerships, and the overall relevance and effectiveness of AWW initiatives.

This session will bring together Wikimedians, project leaders, and volunteers from across Africa to celebrate achievements, identify emerging needs and opportunities, and collaboratively develop a community-driven roadmap for the next phase of African Wiki Women’s growth and impact.
