Wiki-N'zuñdeuh
Launched in October 2024, Wiki N'zuñdeuh is an initiative that promotes the free sharing of cultural and infrastructural knowledge of rural areas. This second concept is one of the innovations of this phase, as rural areas are very often neglected in projects. Culture is not only linked to the realities of the past, nor is it solely linked to traditions; it now also encompasses infrastructure, in this case rural infrastructure.
However, Africa boasts a wealth of rural infrastructural heritage that remains largely unknown. This heritage must be preserved through documentation. Wiki N'zuñdeuh aims to build digital knowledge based on the potential of rural areas in Africa using Wikimedia projects and Kiwix tools. The program focuses on three key areas :
Culture: the challenge here is to promote cultural and infrastructural treasures, including traditional dances, museums, festivals, storytelling, traditional cuisine, churches, mosques, temples, schools, health districts, etc.
Education: Through this program, we aim to further integrate Wikimedia tools into the education system (primary, secondary, and university). Most editors are students and teachers from partner schools. The creation of Wiki Clubs within these institutions is a major goal.
Tourism: This is a field related to the other two. Cultural elements are sources of attraction. Creating content on Wikitravel with teachers and students and making it widely available is key to increasing tourism in Africa.
