Wiki In Africa continues the work of the projects that its lead people have conceptualised and developed. Wiki In Africa is a network of dedicated staff, board members, and supporters (that includes funders, activating communities, and other partnering organisations.).

This organisation has been founded as a voluntary association to maintain the movement’s flexible nature. Access Wiki In Africa’s Code of Conduct here.
