We today facilitated a workshop at #SICSSKenya2026, exploring how @wikidata @Wikipedia data can power Social Science Research. @wikiafrica
From information integrity and content moderation on @Wikipedia to Africa's digital representation gap and Wikimedia's growing role in the age of AI, participants explored how open knowledge platforms support research, education, and innovation.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, Wikimedia Kenya, in collaboration with @UNEP_Africa, is hosting a special Edit-a-thon focused on improving climate & environmental knowledge online as part of the World Environmental Day Celebrations & Wikimedia’s #WikiForSustainableFutures campaign.
African communities have long held answers to water security, food sustainability & clean energy.
But answers that aren't documented don't count.
Help us put Africa's knowledge on the map.
