WikiAfrica creates networks,involves users, facilitates the participation and access to Wikimedia projects, as well as providing analytical and exploratory tools and instruments, generating new content and investigations, gathering funds for scholarships, and supporting present and active resources in theterritories covered by the initiative. In order to achieve its goals, the WikiAfrica program is structured in areas of intervention and it can befound online on WikiAfrica.org, where you can watch the project unfold and see its results. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiAfrica
