 The demographic of Wikimedia communities in Africa is youthful, knowledgeable, vibrant, creative, and safe service. When we talk about the impact of the movement in Africa, it's massive. But one of the major impact stories from the region which cuts across the vast continent, whether it's from East Africa, West Africa, Central, South Africa, you name it, is skills and leadership development. Skills and leadership development, which is one of the nine movement strategy recommendations, was actually one of the key thematic areas that a majority of communities in Africa prioritized during the movement strategy prioritization discussions in 2019. In terms of the skills that we have been able to impart to our participants and of course to our members as well, this is some of the skills that we have actually tried to get to some of our members and our people there. So one is, you know, we have creative writing, we have photography programs that we have got out there, and then we also have the skill within problem analysis, whereby of course before you actually start to think about a project, the project should be able to solve a problem. So how do you actually be able to analyze a problem and how do you able to solve them? We have brought skills around basic project management skills within our community and team. And then apart from that also we have been able to bring in skills on very basic problems that are existing more especially like in countries like South Sudan, so around like women empowerment and these are some of the core stuff and this is why you find us writing articles about women and apart from that, we're just not writing articles. I mean it's like bringing people and our wearing communities around some of the most existing vices within the community and helping them to find their purpose on how they could be able to write that down. We talk about creativity, citizenship, problem solving, decision making, risk-taking, learning and working online are some of the examples of transversal skills. Many young African Wikimedians work into the movement without the skills and as they try to thrive in the movement they pick and master the skills knowingly or unknowingly. We have seen in the past where skills such as grant making, such as editing itself, such as administration, such as how to form partnerships and community health, those kinds of skills have been passed down from experienced Wikipedians from Wikipedians who have been in the movement for a number of years to new Wikipedians and this ensures growth in the African continent. Community resources continue to play a big role in powering communities in Africa and last year a new foundation funding strategy was implemented, its goal being to align grants to the strategic direction and that included decentralizing in decision making power with regional focus. It also had elements of increasing funding and support to underrepresented communities and looking to providing support that goes beyond funding and this includes creating spaces for example for peer learning. We now have structured peer learning avenues such as the Let's Connect program which was launched in March this year. Let's Connect has created spaces for horizontal, flexible and interactive peer learning spaces. With the new revised funding strategy it ensures that there is diversity, there is inclusion and it does not only necessarily focus on editing but it also focuses on other areas like partnership, outreach. It also focuses on other areas that ensures that not only we grow the content but also we grow Wikipedia itself in terms of the trademark of Wikipedia, the awareness about Wikipedia and it also ensures that we grow in terms of advocacy which is very, very much important in the African continent. One unique thing about this new funding structure is how it looks into the African Wikimedia communities to better understand their needs and how to support them. The regional committee members for Middle Eastern Africa is the mural through which the foundation see and reach these communities. Being that these members are both community leaders and members who understands the needs of these communities, some of which they come from, thereby making it easy to bring the whole community to the discussion table. The strategy itself has emphasized on learning, on partnership and on iteration and this has informed how we continue to implement the funding programs that continue to support.
